Non-contact ultra-widefield imaging follow-up of patients with retinopathy of prematurity treated with anti-vegf, laser, scleral buckling or cryotherapy using Optomap scanning laser

Abstract

Purpose : To describe the anatomical results in the follow-up of patients treated with anti-vegf, laser, scleral buckling or cryotherapy with retinopathy of prematurity

Methods : A retrospective review of patients who attended the retinal service of Hospital Hospital Regional "Manuel Cárdenas de la Vega" with diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity and treated with laser anti-vegf, cryotherapy or scleral cerclage between March 2018 and January 2019

Results : We included 14 patients from 7 patients with ROP diagnosis who needed treatment. 7 male and 7 female.

Scleral bucling: 3 eyes
Laser: 8 eyes
Cryotherapy: 2 eyes
Antivegf: 10 eyes

The images were obtained by 3 evaluators to manipulate the patient's head, the body and one captured from photographs.

The images obtained show clear views of posterior pole, peripheral retina and are useful for evaluating scleral indentation, laser scars and cryotherapy, as well as helping in the follow-up of intra-retinal hemorrhages

We found a retinal detachment, residual intraretinal hemorrhages, most with stable retinas after treatment.

Conclusions : Non-contact ultra-widefield imaging using Optos is capable of acquiring clinically useful high-quality images to evaluate anatomical results of patients treated for retinopathy of prematurity and help in the follow-up of these patients.

Optomap could be useful in documenting and monitoring patients treated for retinopathy of prematurity
