Abstract :

 AIM: To assess structural and functional outcomes in babies with Retinopathy of prematurity at 6 months follow up. 

Babies received laser photocoagulation when required.
METHOD: 39 eyes of 20 babies with ROP, 7 eyes treated, were recalled for assessment at 6 months. All underwent visual acuity by Teller acuity 
cards, cycloplegic retinoscopy and fundus examination by Indirect ophthalmoscopy.
RESULTS: Refractive error of +7D of hypermetropia and visual acuity < 6/60 observed in a baby with stage 3, zone 2, post laser treatment. 
CONCLUSION: At 6 months follow up, 94.87 % of eyes showed favourable outcome for structural and functional assessment
