Zhang DL, Shapiro MJ, Schechet SA, et al. - In this retrospective case series, researchers reported a series of exudative retinal detachments (ERDs) following laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Eleven eyes of seven infants who developed ERD following laser were identified. According to findings, ERD is a complication uncommonly reported for ROP following laser. Macular pigment changes, atrophy, window defect on fluorescein angiography, and photoreceptor loss on optical coherence tomography were observed in some cases after ERD resolution. Following ERD resolution, macular changes may have adverse visual consequences.
