Summary
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vascular disorder in premature infants and a leading cause of childhood blindness throughout the world[1]. It was first noticed in the 1940s when more and more oxygen was being administered to premature infants[2]. This disorder was called retrolental fibroplasia by Terry in 19412. RetCam (Clarity medical systems) is a wide angle camera which provides a greater view of retina (eg 1300 field of view) which can produce digital retinal images which could be transferred remotely for evaluation
