Objective: To observe the changes of refractive statues in infants with retinopathy of prematurity retinopathyof prematurity (ROP) after different treatments. Methods: According to different treatment methods, 72 cases(127 eyes) of infants with ROP were divided into 3 groups: laser photocoagulation group, intravitreal injectionof anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs group and natural regression group. Their sphere andspherical equivalent were measured by retinoscopy optometrist after the ciliary muscles paralyzed. The data beforetreatments and 1, 4, 7 and 12 months after treatments were recorded and analyzed. Results: The differences ofsphere and spherical equivalent among three groups were statistically significant: intravitreal injection of VEGFdrugs group was lower than natural regression group and the laser photocoagulation group, but there was no
significant difference between natural regression group and laser photocoagulation group. Incidence of myopiaof laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injection of VEGF drugs, natural regression group were 2.4%, 7.8%, 2.0%,which was not statistically significant. Conclusion: There was no significant difference about the incidence rate ofmyopia among the three groups, but the emmetropization in infants with ROP after intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs might be faster in the future.
