Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) continues to be an ongoing challenge for both ophthalmologists and neonatologists and remains a significant threat to vision for extremely premature infants despite the availability of therapeutic modalities. It remains a leading cause of morbidity despite, (and interestingly) as well as because of, advances in neonatal care, which have improved survival rates of at-risk infants born prematurely. Many controlled clinical trials have shown that application of therapies at the appropriate time is essential to successful outcomes in premature infants affected by ROP.
