Özet:

Premature retinopathy (PR) is a major eye disease that primarily affects premature babies, in developing countries leading to severe vision disorders in childhood. Premature retinopathy is a bipacal pathogenesis of the retinal vascular disease. In the first phase, relative hyperoxy leads to vazo-obliteration and vascular damage. The second phase is characterized by retinal separation and neovascularization resulting in blindness. The objective of existing therapeutic methods is to limit the negative consequences of an abnormal neovascularization that lead to tissue damage. In this collection, PR risk factors, pathogenesis, approaches and existing treatments were discussed from a neonatological point of view.
