Quantitative evaluation of the wide-field fundus photographs in eyes with severe stage 3 and stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the study was to investigate the quantitative differences between severe stage 3 and stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) by evaluating the pre-treatment fundus photographs.

Methods

Thirty-three eyes with clinical diagnosed as severe stage 3 were classified as severe stage 3 group. Twenty-two eyes with retinal detachment without foveal involvement were classified as stage 4A group. Quantitative measurements were performed on pre-treatment 130 degree fundus photographs.

Results

In the severe Stage 3 group, dense fibrous membranes, vertical tractional bands, and dragging were detected in 18 eyes (55%), in 5 eyes (15%), and in none of the eyes, respectively. In the stage 4A group, dense fibrous membranes, vertical tractional bands, and dragging
