Fourteen babies with Stage 4A of ROP or worse who underwent laser plus LSV in one eye (Group 1) and laser alone in the fellow eye (Group 2) were followed at 2 months, 6 months, 1 year, one and a half year, and 2 years. The main outcome variable studied was cycloplegic refraction at the baseline and follow-up visits. The change in spherical and cylindrical power at each visit was compared in Groups 1 and 2. The changes in spherical equivalent in subgroups were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Mean gestational age at birth was 29.43 \u00b1 2.10 weeks (range 26\u201332 weeks). Mean chronological age at the time of surgery was 4.11 \u00b1 3.00 months (range 2\u201310 months). Mean postmenstrual age was 45.86 \u00b1 12.13 weeks (range 39\u201375 weeks). Mean birth weight was 1340.71 \u00b1 361.59 g (range 860\u20131980 g). All the babies in both groups had progressive myopia till 2 years follow-up; laser group had less myopia than LSV group till 1 year, thereafter, there was no difference in median till 2-year follow-up. The mean \u00b1 standard deviation of spherical equivalent in LSV versus laser group was: \u22124.36 \u00b1 5.52 versus \u22123.21 \u00b1 4.59 at 2 months; \u22125.09 \u00b1 5.82 versus \u22124.04 \u00b1 4.68 at 6 months; \u22127.14 \u00b1 5.36 versus \u22125.36 \u00b1 5.09 at 1 year; and \u22127.47 \u00b1 1.38 versus \u22126.41 \u00b1 1.91 at 2 years.
