All eligible patients with bilateral RB (one eye already removed and another eye classified as group A or B) and without previous treatment were recruited. All patients received thermotherapy and six cycles of systemic three\u2010agent chemotherapy repeated every 4\u2009weeks. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect information on study participants' age, symptoms, tumor characteristics, treatment, and outcomes. Among 50 eyes of all 50 patients with a median age of 9 (4\u201320) months, 34 eyes were in group B (68%). The median follow\u2010up time was 60 (60\u201384) months. All 139 preserved tumors regressed mostly to type 4 (70.4%) and type 3 (23.7%) scars. Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis found the overall globe\u2010salvage rate at 5\u2009years of 91.9% (95% CI: 80.1%\u201397.7%). Most eyes (41\/50, 82%, 95% CI: 69.2%\u201390.2%) had a final visual acuity \u22650.1. The visual acuity is higher when tumors regressed to a type 4 scar (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.007, AOR\u2009=\u20098.098, 95% CI: 1.79\u201336.53) which also shows less enucleation than a type 3 scar (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.002, AOR\u2009=\u20090.06, 95% CI: 0.01\u20130.37%). Gender effect on visual acuity after treatment was significant and may be due to discrimination. No major complications were recorded.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Conservative treatment of early\u2010stage RB is safe and effective. Long\u2010term, thorough follow\u2010ups of patients post\u2010treatment are needed.
