TI  - Retinal and choroidal thickness in children with a history of retinopathy of 
      prematurity and transscleral diode laser treatment.

AB  - PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of transscleral diode laser photocoagulation in 
      the eyes of children with a history of threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) 
      and compare them with the eyes of children with no or subthreshold ROP and normal 
      term infants by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). METHODS: 
      Three groups of children aged 4 to 10 years were included as follows: 45 patients 
      with regressed ROP who had not received any treatment (group 1), 48 patients with 
      a history of zone 2 threshold ROP who had been treated with transscleral diode 
      laser (group 2), and 56 age-matched healthy full-term children (group 3). Visual 
      acuity, refractive error, and measurement of retinal and choroidal thickness by 
      SD-OCT were compared between groups retrospectively. RESULTS: The mean 
      gestational age (GA) and birthweight (BW) were 31 weeks and 1,409 grams in group 
      1, 28.7 weeks and 1,274.5 grams in group 2, and 38.4 weeks and 3,285 grams in 
      group 3, respectively. There were 6 significant differences in the laser group: 
      GA, BW, macular thickness, foveal depression, spherical equivalent, and visual 
      acuity. In contrast, there were no significant differences among any of the 
      choroidal parameters in all of the groups. Neither macular nor choroidal 
      thickness correlated with visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS: Although retinal structural 
      changes were observed in patients with a history of ROP, especially in patients 
      treated with laser, no significant difference was found in choroidal thickness 
      between groups. These structural abnormalities may be related to both severity of 
      ROP and laser treatment.
