ABSTRACT
To assess the long term visual outcomes and refractive status of patients who underwent diode laser for threshold retinopathy of prematurity [ROP] and to investigate the risk factors leading to poor visual outcomes. Fifty-seven patients [114 eyes] with threshold ROP who underwent laser therapy were contacted for reassessment. A chart review was performed for all patients to collect data on visual acuity, retinal status and strabismus. A favorable visual outcome was defined as <20/160 [Snellen acuity] for young adults [cooperative patients], and CSM for children [uncooperative patients] while unfavorable visual outcome was defined as <20/160 or
