| Abstrakt: | Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) programs require collaboration between neonatologists, ophthalmologists, nurses, and allied health personnel, together with parents. The concept of a ROP program will vary according to the setting. However, in every situation there should be 2 main aspects: primary prevention of ROP through better overall care, and secondary prevention through case detection (often called screening), treatment, and follow-up. ROP programs will have different content and emphasis according to whether the setting is in an economically advanced or developing country. (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
