Abstract

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal disorder of low birth weight premature infants. It can be mild with no visual defects, or it may become aggressive with new vessel formation (neovascularisation) and progress to retinal detachment and blindness. The stimulus for the abnormal growth of blood vessels comes from the peripheral immature retina. Early detection and effective management of this condition can prevent blindness.
