Purpose: To evaluate structural and functional outcomes in one-year old patients, treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)

with transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation.

Materials and methods: 58 children (116 eyes) 12 months old, after treatment for ROP with diode laser photocoagulation, were

examined. Both, functional outcome (visual acuity – basing on the examination with Teller Acuity Card Procedure), and structural outcome were evaluated. The cycloplegic refraction was examined in all cases.

Results: We have found good functional outcome in 81.9%, and good structural outcomes in 96.5% of examined eyes. 64.6% of

eyes had hyperopic refractive error, and 31% were myopic.

Conclusions: Diode laser photocoagulation is an effective method of treatment for ROP.
