ABSTRACT

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the main causes of blindness in children in Latin America. This retinopathy characterized by abnormal vascular proliferation of the retina due to proangiogenic factors, which imply a formation of structurally deficient new vessels that generate tractional retinal detachment. Since ROP is a sequentially progres-sive pathology, it requires the implementation of screening systems. The importance of screening in patients with risk factors will be described to detect it in opportune stages that allow to grant a better prognosis. Currently, tools such as Retcam, developed by Clarity Medical Systems, consists of a computer image acquisition system with five lenses to collect characteristics of the anterior segment, retina, and optic nerve in real time, being a valuable resource for ROP screening.
