    Abstract : Background: Improved neonatal care has resulted in an increasing population of surviving infants. Neonatal morbidity in preterm infants is, however, high, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the major neonatal morbidities. READ MORE

  6. 4. Short- and Long-Term Follow-Up of Ophthalmological Findings in Preterm Infants and Children
