Abstract

"Abstract: AIM:A clinical study with retrospective analysis of 10 eyes of 5 babies with APROP of birth weight 970 to 1420 grams, Gestational age 26 to 32weeks, from a Level 3 NICU with multiple risk factors. RESULT:Flat neovascularisation was seen in 8 eyes in zone 1,one eye in zone 2. One eye showed a large vascular loop in zone 2. 3 babies with APROP had very low gestation age 1250gms & Gestational age >32weeks. CONCLUSION:Higher birth weight and gestational age babies with multiple risk factors also need to be viewed with suspicion for APROP. "
