Refractive status of Chinese with laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity.

Purpose: To analyze changes in myopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia after laser treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), including aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP), in Mainland Chinese children.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of children who had laser treatment for threshold or type 1 prethreshold ROP between January 2004 and October 2012 and age-matched control subjects with spontaneously regressed type 2 prethreshold ROP. One hundred fifteen eyes of 60 patients were included as the laser-treated group, which were further subdivided into APROP and non-APROP groups.

Natural involution of acute retinopathy of prematurity not requiring treatment: factors associated with the time course of involution.

Purpose: We identified the timing of natural involution of acute retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) not requiring treatment and determined the risk factors associated with delayed involution.

Methods: In this retrospective case series, 82 eyes (the more severe eye) of 82 infants who developed at least one clock hour of acute ROP, stages 1 through 3, but who didn't progress to type 1 ROP, were selected for analysis. The location, extent, and severity of ROP were documented by investigators during serial retinal examinations.

[Clinical therapeutic efficiency of chemoreduction and local therapy for children with retinoblastoma].

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficiency of customized combined therapy for retinoblastoma.

Methods: Retrospective case series. Twenty nine patients (40 eyes) with retinoblastoma were accepted customized combined therapy between Jan.
