Abstract

Patients treated with confluent laser photocoagulation had a low rate of progression to stage 4 or 5 retinopathy of prematurity. Also, the need for additional laser treatment was small, with rates of complications and structural outcomes comparable to previous reports using a nonconfluent laser pattern.
