Retinopathy of prematurity

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is one of the leading causes of blindness amongst children. ROP is prevalent amongst infants who do not complete the full gestation period, are underweight, weighing less than 1250g and are not completely developed. ROP seems to be CO-related with low gestation age, low birth weight, and prolonged exposure to supplemental oxygen in incubators herein we explore and discuss Retinopathy of Prematurity in its entirety, its classification, its causes, and risk factors, its treatment, and prevention. Retinopathy of prematurity is a vasoproliferative eye diseases (Chen H, 2015: ) that affects premature infants who have not completely finished the gestation period. According to cernichioro- Espinosa, very low birthweight…

common long term complications of T1D is diabetic retinopathy. When a person has chronic hyperglycemia, the high level of sugar damages the small blood vessels in the eyes. The high glucose levels block the blood vessels that nourish the retina’s circulation, which cuts off blood supply. [2] The body then tries to regenerate these blood vessels but these new vessels do not develop properly and leak easily. There are two types of retinopathy; the first stage is nonproliferative diabetic…
