RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY
Today’s medicine can help more premature babies survive. But that translates to more babies with Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a condition that affects the blood vessels in the eyes of a premature baby (Vascularisation of Retina). In many children, Retina matures (develops normally) & ROP resolves on its own. However in about 10 % of such infants, with more severe forms of ROP, there is a serious risk of blindness.
