Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurty (ROP) is a relentless disease of the retina in premature children that in advanced cases leads to blindness. A good screening programme ensures early detection and timely intervention. Surgical results in advanced stages of ROP are very poor. Creating awareness, training of specialists end development of viable ROP centres is an urgent need. New research insights have shown promise to prevent, detect and treat ROP.
