RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To prepare a protocol for the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) agreed by the majority of Spanish ophthalmologists dedicated to this topic. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A draft of the protocol was produced taking into account the experience of the participants and up to date publications. This draft was corrected by all the ophthalmologists participating in the project, and the final document was agreed by all of them. RESULTS: We present general guidelines as an aid for the treatment of ROP, including treatment criteria, treatment methods, a calendar of action, and follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: It is important to have a common working protocol for the treatment of ROP to improve care and to avoid mistakes. Although individual Hospitals may adapt the protocol to their daily activity, it is recommended that there is a minimal working protocol agreed by most of professionals dedicated to pediatric ophthalmology in Spain.

Objetivo: Realizar un protocolo de tratamiento de la retinopatía del prematuro (ROP) consensuado por la mayor parte de oftalmólogos españoles dedicados al tema. Material y método: Se realizó un borrador del protocolo según la experiencia de los participantes y las publicaciones actualizadas. Este borrador fue corregido por los participantes en el protocolo y se llegó al documento final consensuado por todos los participantes. Resultados: Se presentan las directrices generales para realizar el tratamiento de la ROP, incluyendo criterios de tratamiento, metodología de actuación, calendario de actuación y seguimiento. Conclusiones: Es importante disponer de un protocolo de actuación común en el tratamiento de la ROP para mejorar la actuación y evitar errores. Aunque cada centro hospitalario deba adaptar el protocolo a su actividad clínica, es recomendable que existan un mínimo de procedimientos consensuados por todos los oftalmólogos dedicados a la ROP (AU)

Objetivo: Realizar un protocolo de cribado de la retinopatía del prematuro (ROP), consensuado por la mayor parte de oftalmólogos españoles dedicados al tema. Material y método: Se realizó un borrador del protocolo según la experiencia de los participantes y las publicaciones actualizadas. Este borrador fue corregido por los participantes en el protocolo y se llegó al documento final consensuado por todos los participantes. Resultados: Se presentan las directrices generales para realizar el cribado de la ROP, incluyendo criterios de inclusión y exclusión, metodología de exploración y calendario de actuación. Conclusiones: Es importante disponer de un protocolo de actuación común en el cribado de la ROP para mejorar la actuación y evitar errores. Aunque cada centro hospitalario deba adaptar el protocolo a su actividad clínica es recomendable que existan un mínimo de procedimientos consensuados por todos los oftalmólogos dedicados a la ROP (AU)
Objective: To prepare a retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening program as agreed by most of Spanish ophthalmologists dedicated to this topic. Material and method: A draft of the protocol was produced taking into account the experience of the participants and current publications. This draft was corrected by all the ophthalmologists participating in the project and the final document produced was agreed by all of them. Results: We present general guidelines to help in the screening of ROP, including treatment criteria, treatment methods, and a calendar of action. Conclusions: It is important to have a common working protocol in the screening of ROP to improve the action and to avoid mistakes. Although individual Hospitals may adapt the protocol to their daily activity, it is recommended that there is a minimal working protocol agreed by most of professionals dedicated to pediatric ophthalmology in Spain (AU)

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of topical mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% in treating conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS: Three patients with CIN were treated with topical MMC 0.02%. Our follow-up period was twelve months (range 8-18 months). RESULTS: CIN was resolved in all three cases without modifying the normal corneal and conjunctival architecture. CONCLUSIONS: Topical MMC 0.02% four times daily during two weeks is a useful alternative tool for the surgical management of CIN.
