“…In an effort to explain this they proposed that ROP may interfere with the normal reduction in lens power that occurs after birth? 6 We also found that PSL was increased in the stage 3 group. Therefore we can deduce that it is anterior segment arrest causing anterior displacement of the crystalline lens, together with increased LT and PSL, that were causative factors in the development of myopia in this cohort.…”

“…Muitos autores, no início deste estudo, já defendiam que o peso ao nascimento deveria ser abaixo de 1.500 g e idade gestacional menor que 32 semanas (1,5,(9)(10)23,(25)(26)(27) . Neste estudo foi determinada idade gestacional menor ou igual a 36 semanas e peso ao nascer menor ou igual a 1.600 g. Os prematuros com idade gestacional de 36 semanas e 3 dias, era arredondada para 36 semanas.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] There have been reports that cryotherapy in threshold ROP contributes to the development of myopia and that laser photocoagulation, in comparison, produces less myopic shift. [5][6][7] However, Quinn et al felt that the cryotherapy did not result in additional myopia but that the high myopia was related to the cicatricial retinopathy or severity of ROP.…”

PURPOSETo assess the long-term refractive and biometric outcomes of diode laser-treated eyes in threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). METHODSCycloplegic autorefraction and biometry (Zeiss IOLMaster) were performed, at a mean follow-up of 11 years, on 16 laser-treated eyes with threshold ROP and 9 comparison eyes with subthreshold untreated ROP. RESULTSThe laser-treated eyes had a mean spherical equivalent of Ϫ2.33 D with a mean astigmatic error of 1.38 D. The comparison eyes had a mean spherical equivalent of ϩ1.07 D with a mean astigmatic error of 0.42 D. This trend toward increased myopia in treated eyes did not achieve statistical significance ( p ϭ 0.08). The myopia in the laser group appeared to be slowly progressive in nature when compared with earlier refractive data for these patients. The laser-treated eyes had reduced anterior chamber depth (ACD) compared with the subthreshold eyes ( p ϭ 0.02). When physiologic accommodation was inhibited by cycloplegic drops, the anterior chamber deepened by 0.13 mm in the laser-treated eyes and by 0.06 mm in the comparison eyes. This effect of accommodation on ACD did not differ significantly between the two groups ( p ϭ 0.23). The laser-treated eyes and the comparison eyes did not differ significantly in terms of axial length, corneal power, corneal diameter, or lens power. However, both groups had steeper corneas, shallower anterior chambers, and shorter axial lengths when compared with historical full-term controls. CONCLUSIONSMyopia in premature infants requiring laser treatment for ROP is associated with a shallowing of the anterior chamber and a steepening of the cornea. Physiological accommodation is not impaired by laser therapy or by severe ROP. ( J AAPOS 2006;10: 454-459) P rematurity and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) are well-established independent risk factors for myopia. [1][2][3][4] There have been reports that cryotherapy in threshold ROP contributes to the development of myopia and that laser photocoagulation, in comparison, produces less myopic shift. 5-7 However, Quinn et al felt that the cryotherapy did not result in additional myopia but that the high myopia was related to the cicatricial retinopathy or severity of ROP. 8 In recent times, laser photocoagulation has largely replaced cryotherapy as the established treatment modality for ROP. Davitt et al have shown no increase in myopia or high myopia, at 9 months, in laser-treated compared with untreated high-risk prethreshold ROP eyes in the Early Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ETROP) study. 9 The clinical objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term refractive outcome of threshold ROP eyes at a mean of 11 years after diode laser treatment, with particular attention to the role of the cornea, anterior chamber depth, axial length, and effective lens power in determining the refractive status.A comparison group with documented subthreshold ROP, which had regressed spontaneously without laser treatment, was also evaluated.
