Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disease characterized by abnormal growth of retinal blood vessels in the eyes of premature infants. It is especially severe in the tiniest, most premature infants, whose chances of survival have increased with advances in neonatal care. Infants in whom ROP is diagnosed during the perinatal period are at risk for ocular abnormalities and for deficits in visual function. This article reviews the classification of ROP, summarizes current recommendations for screening of ROP in the perinatal period, and describes recent findings with respect to ocular and visual acuity outcomes of infants with ROP.
早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）是一种以早产儿眼部视网膜血管异常生长为特征的疾病。在最小、最早产的婴儿中病情尤为严重，随着新生儿护理技术的进步，这些婴儿的存活几率有所提高。在围产期被诊断为ROP的婴儿有眼部异常和视觉功能缺陷的风险。本文综述了ROP的分类，总结了围产期ROP筛查的当前建议，并描述了关于ROP婴儿眼部和视力预后的最新研究结果。
