Interventions

  • Bevacizumab — DRUG
    For infants randomized to bevacizumab, the Intravitreous bevacizumab 0.063 mg injection will be given no later than 2 days after the diagnosis of type 1 ROP. The ophthalmologist may choose to give the intravitreous injection in the operating room or at the bedside, with or without anesthesia, after consultation with the attending neonatologist. A binocular indirect ophthalmoscope with an appropriate condensing lens should be available, and the pupils should be dilated.
  • Laser — PROCEDURE
    For infants randomized to laser treatment, it will be given in conjunction with a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope and an appropriate condensing lens, by a study-certified ophthalmologist experienced in the use of this equipment. The treating investigator will be certified as having sufficient experience with laser for ROP, and adequacy of laser treatment will be confirmed by expert review of photographs. Special laser precautions, as mandated by OSHA and facility standards, will be followed.
