Even if the risk of developing Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in premature babies is low, intervention is absolutely essential when it is detected and reaches a stage requiring treatment. Advanced stage ROP has no chance of spontaneous regression. Cases of retinopathy of prematurity that require treatment but are not treated can result in permanent blindness. To prevent such serious outcomes, it is critically important that routine eye examinations for every premature baby are not overlooked.
