Abstract
ObjectiveTo prepare a retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening program as agreed by most of Spanish ophthalmologists dedicated to this topic. Materials and methodsA draft of the protocol was produced taking into account the experience of the participants and current publications. This draft was corrected by all the ophthalmologists participating in the project and the final document produced was agreed by all of them. ResultsWe present general guidelines to help in the screening of ROP, including treatment criteria, treatment methods, and a calendar of action. ConclusionsIt is important to have a common working protocol in the screening of ROP to improve the action and to avoid mistakes. Although individual hospitals may adapt the protocol to their daily activity, it is recommended that there is a minimal working protocol agreed by most of professionals dedicated to pediatric ophthalmology in Spain.
