Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains a nonpreventable disorder associated with extreme prematurity. Recent advances in establishing the International Classification of ROP have facilitated both clinical care and research, highlighted by the demonstration of the effectiveness of cryoablative therapy for vision-threatening ROP. For those individuals who have ROP, early and life-long ophthalmic follow-up is critical. This is true for those with any residual retinal scars that we now know can lead to later vision loss as well as those who require services for the visually impaired.
早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）仍然是一种与极早早产相关的不可预防的疾病。国际ROP分类体系建立方面的最新进展推动了临床护理和研究工作，冷冻消融疗法对有视力威胁的ROP的有效性证明便是明证。对于患有ROP的个体，早期及终身眼科随访至关重要。对于那些有任何残留视网膜瘢痕（我们现在知道这些瘢痕可能导致后期视力丧失）的患者以及那些需要为视力受损者提供服务的患者来说都是如此。
