Research Article: Vitrectomy Results for Stages and Retinopathy of Prematurity in Iraq

Date Published: 2023-12-29

Abstract:
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a condition where the blood vessels in the retina of premature babies grow abnormally because the retina is not fully developed. It is important to detect ROP early, as it can cause serious vision problems with devastating social and economic implications on both the children and their families in the worst cases, such as Stage ROP. In developing countries, ROP is a significant reason for blindness in children and, as more premature babies survive, along with a lack of screening guidelines or an effective healthcare program to regulate oxygen, this causes a new “third epidemic” in Latin America and Asia.
