| Summary: |
Retinopathy of prematurity
(ROP) is a major cause of blindness in premature infants.
There may be poor functional outcome after laser
treatment because of the natural cause of the
retinopathy of prematurity or other complications of the
disease. Angle-closure glaucoma is a rare consequence of
retinopathy of prematurity and can occur within first
few years of life. It can develop as a result of severe
retinopathy of prematurity stage, as a complication
after laser photocoagulation, surgery procedures
connected with ROP or cicatrical stage of retinopathy
with the presence of retrolenticular masses.
Intraocular pressure may be occasionally also elevated
after laser photocoagulation with no further glaucoma.
There are many cases of acute angle-closure glaucoma in
adults with the past history of laser treatment for
retinopathy of prematurity.
Different mechanisms of glaucoma related to the
retinopathy of prematurity are presented in this article. |
