Purpose:
To evaluate choroidal changes over time in school-age children with a history of prematurity.
Methods:
A study of 416 eyes of 208 eligible participants, including 88, 190, 36, 56, and 46 eyes in the full-term control, preterm, spontaneously regressed retinopathy of prematurity, intravitreal bevacizumab (injection of bevacizumab)–treated retinopathy of prematurity, and laser-treated retinopathy of prematurity groups, respectively, were enrolled in this study. The choroidal thickness was measured 4 times at 6-month intervals using optical coherence tomography.
Results:
Of all the groups, the laser-treated children had the thinnest choroid compared with full-term children (−52.3 µm, P = 0.04). Preterm children exhibited greater attenuation in choroidal thickness over time than did full-term children (−6.3 ± 26.9 and −1.1 ± 12.8 µm/year, P = 0.03), whereas no difference was observed between injection of bevacizumab and laser treatments (−4.6 ± 18.9 and −2.0 ± 15.7 µm/year, P = 0.46). In all groups, the changes in axial length were negatively associated with the changes in choroidal thickness (all P
Purpose:
To investigate the incidence and morphological biomarkers to predict the exudative conversion in eyes with type 1 nonexudative macular neovascularization using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography.

Purpose:
To analyze the outcomes of eyes treated for retinopathy of prematurity in posterior Zone I.
Methods:
In a part retrospective (9 years) and part prospective (1 year) interventional study, we analyzed eyes treated for retinopathy of prematurity in posterior Zone I with a minimum follow-up for 6 months.
Results:
This study included 109 eyes of 56 infants; mean gestational age and birth weights were 29.3 (±2.1) weeks and 1112.5 (±381.9) g, respectively. The treatment included intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor as the initial treatment modality in 101 eyes (92.6%), either alone (27 eyes) or combined with laser or vitreous surgery (73 eyes). Laser was the initial treatment modality in eight eyes, either alone (n = 3) or in combination with surgery (n = 5). With anti–vascular endothelial growth factor alone, 30.68% (n = 27) eyes responded favorably, and the remaining 69.32% (n = 59) eyes needed retreatment (laser in the majority). At the final follow-up, 89.9% (out of 109) of eyes did well anatomically. Good outcome was significantly linked to no detachment at presentation (P
