Purpose: To present our experience of slit-lamp laser photocoagulation with a pediatric quadraspheric contact lens for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Material and methods: 8 eyes of 4 premature babies with threshold ROP were consecutively treated under general anesthesia by means...

RE Oftalmología Purpose: To present our experience of slit-lamp laser photocoagulation with a pediatric quadraspheric contact lens for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Material and methods: 8 eyes of 4 premature babies with threshold ROP were consecutively treated under general anesthesia by means of blue-green argon laser photocoagulation delivered through a table mounted slit-lamp and a wide field contact lens specially designed for infants. Three of the treated eyes had a zone, disease, 2 a posterior zone II disease and 3 a zone II disease. Mean follow-up was 13 months. Results: Early complete regression of the neovascular proliferations and plus disease was observed in all the treated eyes (100%) without apparent sequela. In only one eye that had zone I disease a mild and small peripheral vitreous hemorrhage was observed. Neither cataract nor posterior synechia was observed. A discrete and transient badly hypothermia occurred only in one case. Comments and conclusions: This study shows the efficacy and precision of slit-lamp argon laser photocoagulation through a quadraspheric contact lens in ROP, with a very low rate of complications, and with a magnificent and comfortable visualization of all the structures to be treated. Each retinal burn was easily and very precisely placed from the ridge to the ora serrata in 360°with only a slight to moderate tilting of the wide field lens and without the need of scleral depression. 2000-04-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess application/pdf spa http://pa.bibdigital.ucc.edu.ar/3917/1/A_UrretsZavalia_UrretsZavalia_Iros.pdf Urrets Zavalía, Julio ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2267-2783 <https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2267-2783>, Urrets Zavalía, Enrique Alberto and Iros, M.
