Animal Model for Retinopathy of Prematurity Laser Surgery Training

W Walker Motley 3rd et al. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. .

Abstract

Peripheral retinal laser ablation for high-risk retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) improves visual outcomes. Some pediatric ophthalmology fellows receive little exposure to this procedure. The authors identified and evaluated an animal teaching model that simulates peripheral retinal laser ablation in human infants with ROP. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54:e47-e49.].
