- Abstract
The retinopathy of prematurity is the most important cause of blindness at children and one of the most frequent cause of blindness in the postnatal period. 435 newborn prematures and dismatures, were examined in the first two weeks since they were born. The ophthalmological exam showed vasoconstriction of retinal vessels. The treatment consisted in cryotHerapy with good results. The most up-to-date method is the therapy with argon laser mounted on the indirect ophthalmoscope.
