Abstract
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.Entities:
