Abstract

All babies will be examined by vitreoretinal faculty in a tertiary eye care center using IDO after pupillary dilatation. ROP grading will be done according to revised ICROP (2005) classification. The Optos Silverstone ultra-widefield imaging device with integrated swept source OCT helps in a 200° single-capture and enables opto-map guided OCT scanning across the retina and into the far periphery of babies held in flying baby position. This helps in accurate monitoring and in correlating oct findings along side fundus findings in ROP. The images will be captured on Day0, 7, 30 and 60 during the course of follow up. The GA, PMA, birth weight, anemia and sepsis will be recorded as risk factors. OCT findings including central foveal thickness, inner and outer retinal changes, macular edema and choroidal changes is recorded. These OCT biomarkers and their role in assessing faster vascular progression and better treatment response to Laser / Anti-VEGF in APROP and Staged ROP is assessed.
