Stoica F, et al. - The bi-fold aim of this study was to assess the macular anatomy via spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), in children born preterm who had laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and to explore the association between structural changes in the macula and visual function. The central fovea was considerably thicker in ROP laser-treated children born preterm than the controls, years after the laser intervention. A strong and inverse link was discovered between the central fovea thickness (CFT) with birthweight (BW) and gestational age (GA) at birth, while a CFT value above 257 μm was suggestive for suboptimal visual acuity. The proposed cut-off value warranted validation in prospective research.
