Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a rapidly evolving area of pediatric ophthalmology. Over the past decade, a new understanding of the pathophysiology of ROP has emerged. Advances in clinical research have lead to modifications in screening criteria and treatment guidelines for ROP. With this knowledge, new treatment modalities such as anti-angiogenic agents are being investigated. This review will highlight some of the current concepts related to ROP.
