Author Affiliations

Abstract

Purpose. To develop a differentiated approach to laser treatment for active stages of retinopathy of prematurity using pattern retinal photocoagulation and evaluate its effectiveness. Material and methods. The study was conducted at 1158 eyes of 613 premature infants (gestation age – 25–31 weeks, birth weight – 670–1630 g). In the main group pattern retinal photocoagulation (Pascal) was performed, in the control – in single pulse regime. Results and discussion. Pattern photocoagulation advantages as compared with standard are the significant reduction in the duration of the intervention (not less than 2 times) and high dosage of impact.

Key words

differentiated approach, aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity, pattern retinal photocoagulation, retinopathy of prematurity
