Diode laser treatment of pre-threshold and threshold retinopathy of prematurity

Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a sight-threatening condition of premature infants. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of diode laser photocoagulation in the treatment of pre-threshold and threshold ROP. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients who underwent diode laser treatment for ROP by one author (GAG) from 1992 to 2000. During this time, 2137 babies
