This article provides information about late complications of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), especially seen in adolescence and adulthood. The majority of ROP patients recover without complications and treatment, but severe ROP cases should be properly treated. Both prematurity itself and the treatment of ROP cause some changes in the anterior (refractive changes, cataract, and glaucoma) and posterior segments (tractional, rhegmatogenous and exudative retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, etc.,) of the eye and predispose to significant lifelong complications. Awareness of these late complications can minimize severe vision loss with proper follow-up and appropriate treatment. Therefore, life-long ophthalmological follow-up is mandatory in all prematures with the diagnosis of ROP.
本文提供了有关早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）晚期并发症的信息，尤其是在青少年和成年期出现的并发症。大多数ROP患者无需并发症和治疗即可康复，但严重的ROP病例应得到妥善治疗。早产本身以及ROP的治疗都会导致眼睛前部（屈光变化、白内障和青光眼）和后部（牵拉性、孔源性和渗出性视网膜脱离、玻璃体积血等）发生一些变化，并易引发严重的终身并发症。认识到这些晚期并发症，通过适当的随访和恰当的治疗可将严重视力丧失降至最低。因此，所有诊断为ROP的早产儿都必须进行终身眼科随访。
