Charts of 624 infants weighing under 1250 g who were admitted to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit during 1977-87 were reviewed. Three hundred and eighty nine babies survived, and the total ROP prevalence was 57.5\%. Cryotherapy was applied to 35\%. Only one case (0.25\%) of blindness was detected, and four babies (1\%) had a final visual acuity of less than 20/200 in one eye. The complication rate following cryoablation was very low.}, issn = {0007-1161}, URL = {https://bjo.bmj.com/content/75/3/158}, eprint = {https://bjo.bmj.com/content/75/3/158.full.pdf}, journal = {British Journal of Ophthalmology} }
