What happens during the disease - retinopathy of prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (rop) is a disease that affects premature babies. it is caused by abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, leading to retinal detachment and vision loss. this abnormal growth is thought to be caused by a combination of low oxygen levels in the baby's blood, high levels of oxygen in the incubator, and inflammation from a premature immune system. as the baby's blood vessels grow, they can become fragile and leak fluid, causing swelling in the retina and leading to vision loss.
