ROP is a blinding eye disease of premature infants that affects more than 80% of babies born with birthweight less than 1000 g. With the current understanding of etiology and treatment, all infants born at less than 1500 g should receive regular ROP eye examinations starting at 4 weeks chronologic age or 31 weeks postconceptional age, whichever is ...

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2009
This article briefly reviews the history of ROP followed by a discussion of the pathogenesis of this complex disorder. We describe the International Classification System for ROP and identify risk factors and screening recommendations. Finally, we discuss some of the measures that have been used in an attempt to both prevent and treat ROP.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common blinding disease in children in the developed world despite current treatment, and is becoming increasingly prevalent in the developing world. ROP progresses in two phases. The first phase begins with delayed retinal vascular growth after birth and partial regression of existing vessels, followed by a second

The majority of cases of ROP regress spontaneously, but better treatment methods are needed to prevent retinal detachment and other effects of ROP such as myopia. In the future, molecular mechanisms may be exploited to treat ROP.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a relatively new condition. Only in the last 60 years have children survived who were born prematurely enough to have a significantly immature retinal vasculature. This article describes the classification and physiology of ROP, the interventions now available, and possible future therapies.

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
With improving survival of very low birth infants in India, Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP is likely to emerge as a significant problem. The most important risk factor in the pathogenesis of ROP is prematurity. Other factors like frequent blood transfusions; sepsis, apnea and problems with oxygenation have also been implicated in the causation of ROP.

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1988
Over the last decade major advances have been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis and evolution of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The increased survival of very small premature infants in modern neonatal intensive care units has led to the resurgence of this potentially blinding disease.

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1985
To the Editor. —In reply to the letter by Solomon 1 and the reply of Garner 2 on the international classification of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), I agree with Garner's response to Solomon's suggestion that fluorescein angiography would give a better and an exact evaluation of the exact pathology of ROP.

Outcome of prematurity and retinopathy of prematurity
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1996Retinopathy of prematurity is a disease that manifests soon after birth in the premature infant and may lead to a lifelong disability. More infants at risk for developing the retinopathy are surviving, and the ophthalmologist must be aware of possible vision abnormalities, such as decreased acuity, strabismus, nystagmus, retinal scarring, and retinal ...
