ABSTRACT

Retinopathy of prematurity is the part of Pediatric Ophthalmology that arouses the most interest today. In the last two decades, rigorous clinical research has been carried out on this subject, as it is the most common cause of childhood blindness in developed countries. This condition was first described by Terry in 1940 as retrolental fibroplasia, a scar form of the disease. In the 1950s, it was related to a high and uncontrolled oxygen supply, which led to its strict control, as well as to restrict its use in the Neonatology units. The International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity described its degrees of severity based on four parameters: location, stage, extension and presence of plus disease. Medical and paramedical personnel of the neonatal intensive care units have been prepared to reduce the incidence of this disease.
