Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a disease of the eye found in premature babies, particularly those with low birth weight. The disease affects retinal blood vessel causing neovascularization or scarring formation. Clinically, it is proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Although in most cases it disappears by itself, in aggressive cases the disease could progress to severe stage i.e. multiple band-like membranes pull up the retina causing retina detachment and permanent blindness. At this stage children would lose the opportunity to live with normal eyesight.
