Abstract

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) affects the developing retinal vasculature in premature neonates and is a complex condition. It typically happens in neonates who have undergone critical care, particularly those who have received prolonged oxygen therapy and those who have numerous other risk factors. the current study evaluated the incidence of ROP in preterm infants with a gestational age of fewer than 36 weeks of gestational age or a birth weight of less than 2000 gm admitted to SNCU.
