    <Abstract>Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the causes of blindness in childhood. The treatment modalities of this disease are laser photocoagulation (LP) and/or intravitreal anti-VEGF agents. But there are many side effects of the laser treatment such as lens opacity, iris and cornea burns, retinal and choroidal hemorrhages. Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) has been reported as a rare complication of LP for the treatment of ROP. But there is no consensus about how to treat of this condition. Here we present a case of ERD after LP for ROP although appropriate laser settings and successfully treated by systemic steroid administration.</Abstract>
