Long term refractive outcome in eyes of preterm infants with and without retinopathy of prematurity: comparison of keratometric value, axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness

Table 4

Refractive status at 6 years of age according to cryotherapy in cicatricial retinopathy of prematurity (eyes (%))

CR at 6 years (mean (SD)) Group M-0 (36 eyes) Group M-1 (57 eyes) Group M-2 (32 eyes) Total (29 eyes)
Cryotherapy (−) −6.18 (3.91) 0 (00.0) 7 (58.3) 5 (41.7) 12 (100)
Cryotherapy (+) −2.79 (4.46) 5 (29.4) 7 (41.2) 5 (29.4) 17 (100)

  • ↵p Value = 0.045 (t test).

  • CR=cycloplegic refraction.

  • Group M-0=emmetropia or hyperopia; group M-1=myopia (<−6.0 D); group M-2=high myopia (⩾-6.0 D).
