Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity continues to be the leading cause of childhood blindness that primarily affects premature and low birth weight babies. The prevention of preterm birth is the most effective strategy to reduce the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity. Timely identification and treatment are essential to prevent the unnecessary loss of vision caused by retinopathy of prematurity. It has been associated with multiple risk factors among the main low birth weight, gestational age and use of supplemental oxygen, among others. Its clinical picture is characterized by a retrolental membrane that causes leukocoria and eventually without treatment with potential complications such as glaucoma, cataract, myopia and blindness, the latter being the most serious. The current standard of treatment continues to be ablative therapy through laser photocoagulation of the peripheral avascular ischemic retina and studies are currently being conducted with anti VEGF which have shown significant benefits, however, they have not yet been approved by the FDA for its clinical use.
