Nazmiye Erol et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. .

Abstract

Trial of intravitreal bevacizumab injection in 7 eyes of 4 infants with continued retinopathy of prematurity progression despite previous laser therapy was reported. Six of the eyes benefited from the therapy. Intravitreal bevacizumab injection may be an alternative therapy in progressive stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity despite laser photocoagulation.
