  • Progressive Visual Loss in Adults with Retinopathy of Prematurity (Rop)*
    PROGRESSIVE VISUAL LOSS IN ADULTS WITH RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY (ROP)* BY William Tasman, MD, AND (BY INVITATION) Gary C. Brown, MD INTRODUCTION RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY (ROP) IS' A PROGRESSIVE CONDITION THAT requires periodic monitoring for a lifetime. The International Classifica- tion ofROP has improved our understanding ofthe stages ofthe disease and has led to a collaborative study to evaluate the effectiveness ofcryotherapy in active ROP 1'2 It also includes a list ofocular sequelae that includes late- onset retinal detachment, retinal pigmentary changes, myopia, and dragged retina. In this study, two visually monocular patients with ROP, myopia, and dragged retina were followed for 14 and 5 years, respectively, during which period progressive loss of vision was noted. One of the two patients was operated on for a retinal detachment, but postoperative visual acuity was good. No new fundus changes developed that would explain the subse- quent visual loss. Possible explanations for the decreased visual acuity will be discussed. CASE REPORTS CASE 1 KM, a 20-year-old male, was first examined in 1973. There was a known history of prematurity and ROP confirmed by a birth weight of900 g. The right eye had been blind since infancy, but the left eye was 20/30 with a high myopic correction. Intraocular pressures have always been normal.
