“…[21] Myopia was the predominant refractive error and was present in 47.2% cases of which high myopia constituted about 27.8 % cases similar to other studies. [14] [22] Most preterm infants have with the rule astigmatism [23] similar to our study. Gunay demonstrated significantly higher rates of strabismus following laser treatment compared to IVB monotherapy.…”

“…The predominant WTR astigmatism in eyes with laser-treated ROP in the current report supports previous studies' findings that most preterm infants had WTR astigmatism. 19,30,31 Conversely, high astigmatism with a predominant against-the-rule has been reported in children with retinal residua and cryotherapy. 3,32 Whether treatment of ROP affects the development of astigmatism has been an issue to be studied.…”

Purpose To assess the prevalence of astigmatism and its relationship with biometric optic components in preterm school children with diode laser-treated threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Methods A prospective, cross-sectional study in which cycloplegic keratometry, refraction, and ultrasound biometric measurement of optic components were performed on 24 consecutive preterm children with diode laser-treated threshold ROP at the age of 9 years. The study results were compared with data on 1021 agematched full-term control children from a national survey. Results The laser-treated eyes had a mean astigmatism of 3.47 D, with a mean spherical equivalent of À 4.49 D. Of the 46 eyes studied, 98% of eyes showed astigmatism Z0.5 D and 50% had high astigmatism (43.0 D). Most astigmatic eyes (97.7%) showed with-the-rule astigmatism, with the mean plus cylinder axis at 89.30 o . Further correlation analysis showed the astigmatism in refraction was highly correlated with the corneal astigmatism (r ¼ 0.921, Po0.001) and the vertical corneal curvature (r ¼ 0.405, P ¼ 0.005). There was significantly steeper vertical corneal curvature (P ¼ 0.003) and flatter horizontal corneal curvature (P ¼ 0.031) in eyes with laser-treated ROP when compared with age-matched full-term controls. The eyes with laser-treated ROP also show significantly thicker lens (3.93 mm) and shallower anterior chamber depth (ACD; 2.92 mm) than full-term controls (Po0.001). Conclusions There is significantly higher prevalence and greater magnitude of astigmatism in eyes with laser-treated threshold ROP compared with full-term controls. The steeper vertical corneal curvature component contributes to the increased astigmatism in eyes with laser-treated ROP.
