Abstract
The ophthalmic sequelae of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) can persist into adulthood, necessitating lifelong monitoring to detect and manage late-onset complications. This report presents findings using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF SSOCTA) in adults with a history of ROP. In this case series, UWF SS-OCTA aided in the assessment of persistent avascular retina (PAR) and other peripheral vascular abnormalities, including vascular tangles, arteriovenous shunts, and abnormal vascular remodeling, which were not evident on standard clinical exam. UWF SS-OCTA offers a noninvasive, rapid, and high-resolution method for peripheral vascular imaging that may become a valuable tool for long-term surveillance of ROP and PAR.
