Retinopathy Of Prematurity

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) may be a potentially blinding disease caused by abnormal development of retinal blood vessels in premature infants. The retina is that the inner layer of the attention that receives light and turns it into visual messages that are sent to the brain. When a baby is born prematurely, the retinal blood vessels can grow rare. Most ROP resolves without causing harm to the retina. When ROP is severe, it can cause the retina to tug away or detach from the wall of the attention and possibly cause blindness. Babies 1250 grams or less and are born before 31 weeks gestation are at highest risk.
