Isolated Retinal Neovascularization in Retinopathy of Prematurity: Clinical Associations and Prognostic Implications.

Objective: Isolated retinal neovascularization (IRNV) is a common finding in patients with stage 2 and 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This study aimed to further classify the clinical course and significance of these lesions (previously described as "popcorn" based on clinical appearance) in patients with ROP as visualized with ultrawidefield OCT (UWF-OCT).

Design: Single center, retrospective case series.

Panretinal Optical Coherence Tomography.

We introduce a new concept of panoramic retinal (panretinal) optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system with a 140° field of view (FOV). To achieve this unprecedented FOV, a contact imaging approach was used which enabled faster, more efficient, and quantitative retinal imaging with measurement of axial eye length. The utilization of the handheld panretinal OCT imaging system could allow earlier recognition of peripheral retinal disease and prevent permanent vision loss.

Association of Optical Coherence Tomography-Measured Fibrovascular Ridge Thickness and Clinical Disease Stage in Retinopathy of Prematurity.

Importance: Accurate diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is essential to provide timely treatment and reduce the risk of blindness. However, the components of an ROP examination are subjective and qualitative.

Objective: To evaluate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived retinal thickness measurements at the vascular-avascular junction are associated with clinical diagnosis of ROP stage.
