Long term refractive and structural outcome following laser treatment for zone 1 aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity.

Aim: To report the long term refractive, visual and structural outcome post-laser for zone 1 aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of refractive status of premature infants with zone 1 AP-ROP who underwent laser photocoagulation from 2002 to 2007 and followed up till 2013. Once the disease regressed, children were followed up six monthly with detailed examination regarding fixation pattern, ocular motility, nystagmus, detailed anterior segment and posterior segment examination, and refractive status including best corrected visual acuity.

Intravitreal bevacizumab for incontinentia pigmenti.

Two eyes of two siblings affected with incontinentia pigmenti having severe proliferative retinopathy are reported. Both cases showed complete resolution of new vessels after a single injection of intravitreal bevacizumab. At 7 months of follow-up, the first case revealed vascularization to the mid-periphery including a vascularized fovea (which was avascular before injection) but recurrence of some peripheral neovascularization, which was treated by conventional laser.
