Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: A single-center study of consecutive patients with capillary hemangiomas treated with systemic propranolol. Refractive data were analyzed using Long's matrix formalism and the methods of Harris and Kaye. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were included. At 6 months postoperatively, hemangioma size reduced from 3,214 to 1,806 mm(3) (standard deviation: 4,122 to 2,441). Mean refractive error in the affected eye significantly reduced: -1.25/0.38 × 36 (95% confidence intervals: -5.08/1.20 × 90 to 1.64/1.43 × 180, P = .048) with a smaller change (P = .06) in the unaffected eye of -1.01/+0.31 × 3.16 (95% confidence intervals: -4.02/+1.12 × 180 to +1.49/+0.51 × 90). CONCLUSIONS:
