Retinopathy of prematurity is a disease caused by abnormal vessel
regression of the retinal vasculature that affects premature
infants with low birth weights. Despite significant improvements in
screening guidelines and treatment modalties, ROP is still the
leading cause of reversible paediatric blindness worldwide. The
authors of this book explore the possibility of applying the
concept of fractal analysis to images of retinal blood vessels for
morphometric analysis and classification; the quality of life for
children with retinopathy of prematurity; the differences in
ethnicity and socioeconomic status that influence the prevalence,
risks, outcome and management of ROP; the outcome and prognostic
factors of the intravitreal administration of bevacizumab for ROP;
the outcomes of transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation for
ROP; new therapeutic strategies for treating ROP and late
complications that can develop and persistent into later childhood
and even adult life (for example, long-term refractive errors,
amblyopia, strabismus and optic nerve abnormalities).
