Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially sight-threatening condition that occurs when the blood vessels supplying the developing retina grow abnormally in premature infants, particularly those born before 31 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 1,500 grams at birth. Because the retina is still forming at the time of early delivery, disrupted vascular development can lead to scarring, retinal detachment, and, in severe cases, permanent vision loss or blindness. Additional risk factors include supplemental oxygen use, low birth weight, infections, and other neonatal complications that can accelerate or worsen abnormal vessel growth. Determining the extent and urgency of the condition requires a thorough clinical assessment that takes into account the infant's gestational age, birth weight, overall health history, and findings from specialized retinal examinations.
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
