PURPOSE: To evaluate refractive error in infants who underwent intravitreal bevacizumab injection for treatment of threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). DESIGN: Retrospective nonrandomized interventional comparative study. METHODS: The study group included all infants who consecutively received a single intravitreal bevacizumab (0.375 mg or 0.625 mg) injection for therapy of threshold ROP in fundus zone I or zone II. The control group included infants who had previously undergone retinal argon laser therapy of ROP. The follow-up examination included refractometry under cycloplegic conditions. RESULTS: The study group included 12 children (23 eyes; mean birth weight: 622 +/- 153 g; gestational age: 25.2 +/- 1.6 weeks) and the control group included 13 children (26 eyes; birth weight: 717 +/- 197 g; gestational age: 25.3 +/- 1.8 weeks). Both groups did not differ significantly in birth age and weight and follow-up. At the end of followup at 11.4 +/- 2.3 months after birth, refractive error was less myopic in the study group than in the control group (-1.04 +/- 4.24 diopters [median: 0 diopters] vs -4.41 +/- 5.50 diopters [median: -5.50 diopters]; P = .02). Prevalence of moderate myopia (17% 8% vs 54%. 10%; P = .02; OR: 0.18 [95% CI: 0.05, 0.68]) and high myopia (9% 6% vs 42% 10%; P = .01; OR: 0.13 [95% CI: 0.03, 0.67]) was significantly lower in the bevacizumab group. Refractive astigmatism was significantly lower in the study group (-1.0 +/- 1.04 diopters vs 1.82 +/- 1.41 diopters; P = .03). In multivariate analysis, myopic refractive error and astigmatism were significantly associated with laser therapy vs bevacizumab therapy (P = .04 and P = .02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In a 1-year follow-up, a single intravitreal bevacizumab injection as compared to conventional retinal laser coagulation was helpful for therapy of ROP and led to less myopization and less astigmatism.
