Retinopathy of prematurity (rop) is an eye disorder caused by abnormal blood vessel growth in the light sensitive part of the eyes (retina) of premature infants. Rop generally affects infants born before week 31 of pregnancy and weighing 2.75 pounds (about 1,250 grams) or less at birth. In most cases, rop resolves without treatment, causing no damage. Advanced rop, however, can cause permanent vision problems or blindnes.
