ABSTRACT
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains a significant health care concern in neonatal care as advances in neonatal intensive practices have improved the survival rates of premature infants. The management and screening of ROP have evolved significantly, with notable trends and advancements aimed at improving outcomes. The use of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections has emerged as a prominent initial treatment for ROP in addition to laser photocoagulation. Screening practices have also seen enhancements, with a shift toward efficiency and tele-screening to optimize ROP management. This review aims to discuss available treatment and screening methods and explore new potential therapeutic tools for ROP.
