Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one the causes blindness in childhood. The treatment modalities this disease are laser photocoagulation (LP) and/or intravitreal anti-VEGF agents. But there many side effects such as lens opacity, iris and cornea burns, retinal choroidal hemorrhages. Exudative detachment (ERD) has been reported a rare complication LP for ROP. no consensus about how to treat condition.
