Comprehensive management of retinopathy of prematurity
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2020, Vol 35, Issue 6
Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of blindness in children all over the world. Comprehensive management of ROP focuses on retinal neovascularization (RNV). In the first phase, moderate oxygen flow is used to promote physiological retinal vascularization and prevent RNV. In the second phase, RNV is monitored by standard ROP screening and follow-up and is controlled by ablation of peripheral avascular retina and intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment. In the third phase, tractional retinal detachment caused by RNV vascular fibrosis is managed by surgery. Comprehensive management of ROP based on evidence-based medicine can prevent, monitor, control and manage the complications of RNV, thus effectively reducing the proportion of blindness in children.
