Long term outcome in unilaterally treated retinopathy of prematurity: a case report.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder describing an immature vascularisation of a developing retina in low birth weight preterm infants. This condition potentially leads to blindness. ROP developed as a response of hypoxia of the eye due to incomplete development of the retinal vessels. ROP...
