Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity (retrolental fibroplasia) is once again a problem of major concern to neonatalogists and ophthalmologists. Infants of low birth weight and gestational age seem to be most at risk. The clinical course of the disease is reviewed and a classification, simplistic in its approach, is presented. The discovery of retinopathy of prematurity in an infant should stimulate the ophthalmologist to follow the course of the disease very carefully. Preliminary experience may indicate that intervention on behalf of the infant is possible.
