Observations of simultaneous aggressive anemia correction and intravitreal therapy for aggressive retinopathy of prematurity: A multimodal retinopathy of prematurity assessment study report number 2.

Prompt correction of moderate to severe anemia with blood transfusion in anti-VEGF-injected aggressive retinopathy of prematurity eyes resulted in faster resolution of retinal hemorrhages and faster vascular progression to the periphery.

These eyes showed improved multimodal imaging biomarkers and a lower chance of reactivation or persistent avascular retina needing retreatment with laser.
