Foveal structure, function and microvascular morphology in school-age children with laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this retrospective case-control study was to evaluate the relationship between foveal structure, function, microvascular morphology and visual acuity in school-age children with laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Methods

Foveal structural parameters, including the central foveal thickness (CFT), inner retinal thickness (IRT) and outer retinal thickness (ORT), were measured on B-scans using an Optovue XR Avanti optical coherence tomography device. Foveal microvascular parameters, including the foveal avascular zone (FAZ), superficial capillary plexus-vessel density (SCP-VD) and deep capillary plexus-vessel density (DCP-VD), were measured on optical coherence tomography angiography with a scan size of 3 × 3. The P1 amplitudes and P1 implicit
