Résumé
To assess the foveal microvascular structure of children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with diode laser photocoagulation using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). OCTA was performed at a tertiary medical center in 17 children (27 eyes) aged 4 to 16 years with a history of diode laser photocoagulation treated ROP. OCTA parameters were compared with those of 12 healthy age-matched controls (23 eyes) attending the orthoptics clinic and correlated with clinical factors. Compared with controls, the ROP group had a smaller foveal avascular zone area ( OCTA can identify significant quantifiable long-term macular microvascular and structural changes in this patient population.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
To assess the foveal microvascular structure of children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with diode laser photocoagulation using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
PATIENTS AND METHODS
OCTA was performed at a tertiary medical center in 17 children (27 eyes) aged 4 to 16 years with a history of diode laser photocoagulation treated ROP. OCTA parameters were compared with those of 12 healthy age-matched controls (23 eyes) attending the orthoptics clinic and correlated with clinical factors.
RESULTS
Compared with controls, the ROP group had a smaller foveal avascular zone area (
CONCLUSION
OCTA can identify significant quantifiable long-term macular microvascular and structural changes in this patient population.
