The Incubator Channel · 3 Sept 2026 · 15 min
Summary
A journal club discussion of the DROP-ROP trial, a double-masked randomised study across fourteen Swedish centres testing whether topical dexamethasone eye drops prevent pre-threshold ROP progressing to type 1 disease in infants born under 30 weeks. The presenters review the non-significant reduction in laser or anti-VEGF treatment, safety signals including intraocular pressure, and how quickly the field adopts promising ROP data.
