RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 04/23/2025

This 70YO female presented with stable 20/100 vision in her right eye. Her left eye was enucleated almost 60 years previously due to complications of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Optos color RGB imaging shows marked temporal macular dragging with peripapillary and distal temporal chorioretinal scarring.

Learning Points:
Patients with ROP have an increased risk for vision-threatening complications throughout their life, including vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment (Hsu et al, Ophthalmology Retina 2023;7:72-80). We will therefore continue to monitor our patient yearly.
