Introduction
To evaluate the results of diode laser treatment of active phase of retinopathy in prematurity. Material and methods We studied 240 premature infants since January 2003 to October 2004. In 60 premature infants (102 eyes – 25%) ROP was found. 26 premature infants (52 eyes – 43.3%) with threshold ROP (stage 3a) in II zone (12 eyes) and in II and III zone (40 eyes) were treated with an aid of diode laser. Birth weight varied from 650 to 990g (mean 799.23g) and gestational age from 23 to 28 weeks (mean Hbd 26.2). Results Good anatomical results were obtained in 25 cases (50 eyes – 96.15%), in 1 case (2 eyes – 3.85%) was total retinal detachment. In this case the progress of retinopathy was caused by small birth weight and other chronic disorders. Conclusions Diode laser treatment of active phase of retinopathy in prematurity gives good anatomical results. The results of treatment depend on the other chronic diseases of premature infants. keywords:
