Macular sensitivity assessment and fixation analysis using microperimetry in children with retinopathy of prematurity
British Journal of Ophthalmology Jun 13, 2021
Tunay ZO, et al. - In this observational case series, researchers sought to examine retinal sensitivity and fixation stability using microperimetry in children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In total, 51 preterm children who had been followed for ROP were examined in three groups (n=17 in each group). The groups were as follows: children without ROP (group 1), children with spontaneously resolved ROP (group 2), and children who had laser treatment for ROP (group 3). Macular light sensitivity and fixation stability in preterm children may be abnormal. These abnormalities may be more noticeable in children under the age of 11. ROP or laser treatment appears to have no effect on macular light sensitivity or fixation stability.
