Abstract

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) stems from abnormal vascular development within the retina of premature infants. As the rates of both premature births and survival of premature babies increases, the demand for ROP screening has increased. In order to improve access to care, the number of telemedicine programs that provide remote ROP screening of premature infants has increased. Telemedicine programs for ROP have proven cost-effective and safe. The key components of a telemedicine program include well-trained personnel, robust communication networks, adequate equipment and data storage.
