The aim of the paper is to estimate the influence of self-regression of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and regression after cryotherapy for development of axial myopia in premature babies.
The researches concerned 4 groups of premature babies in the 6th, 12th and 24th month of life. Group 1--without ROP, group 2--with self-regression of ROP, group 3--with regression of ROP after cryotherapy and group 4--with one eye with self-regression of ROP and second eye with regression after cryotherapy.
In the 6th and 24th month of life mean axial length of eyeball in children from group 3 was statistically significantly higher than mean axial length of eyeball in children from group 1 and 2. In the 12th month of life mean axial length of eyeball in children from group 3 was statistically significantly higher than mean axial length of eyeball in children from group 1. In group 4 mean axial length of eyeball with regression of ROP after cryotherapy was statistically significantly higher than mean axial length of eyeball with self-regression of ROP.
Self-regression of ROP and regression of ROP after cryotherapy may cause development of axial myopia in premature babies.
本文旨在评估早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）的自我消退以及冷冻治疗后消退对轴性近视发展的影响。
研究涉及4组在出生后第6、12和24个月的早产儿。第1组——无ROP，第2组——ROP自我消退，第3组——冷冻治疗后ROP消退，第4组——一只眼ROP自我消退，另一只眼冷冻治疗后消退。
在出生后第6和24个月时，第3组儿童的平均眼轴长度在统计学上显著高于第1组和第2组儿童的平均眼轴长度。在出生后第12个月时，第3组儿童的平均眼轴长度在统计学上显著高于第1组儿童的平均眼轴长度。在第4组中，冷冻治疗后ROP消退的眼的平均眼轴长度在统计学上显著高于ROP自我消退的眼的平均眼轴长度。
ROP的自我消退以及冷冻治疗后ROP的消退可能导致早产儿轴性近视的发展。
