Identification of postnatal factors that affect the risk for and the course of retinopathy of prematurity might allow neonatologists and ophthalmologists to attempt to prevent the disease and to limit comorbidities with which it shares modifiable risk factors.
Eye examination for retinopathy of prematurity can be very painful for preterm infants, even when done by a skilled ophthalmologist.119 In the context of high-quality neonatal intensive care, with existing criteria only about 5-10% of infants120 screened will need treatment.
Other groups have developed similar prediction methods based on postnatal weight gain.127-129 Telemedicine might further improve screening for retinopathy of prematurity by reducing the need for skilled ophthalmologists in every neonatal intensive care unit, through the centralisation of readings.130
After CRYO-ROP, many ophthalmologists believed that earlier treatment (before threshold) might benefit some extremely premature infants with severe retinopathy of prematurity.
