A Closer Look at ROP
Every year up to 16,000 premature infants in the born in the United States are affected by retinopathy of prematurity, or ROP. This eye disease is the leading cause of childhood blindness in the world. The complexity of ROP care requires effective coordination and communication between the entire healthcare team, including the patient’s family. As neonatal caregivers, we need to look at barriers to ROP care and follow-up through a health equity lens, then develop patient-centered solutions to prevent vision loss.
