The baby was screened at Apollo Cradle for ROP screening. The baby was born with birth weight of 840 gms. The baby was screened for ROP, the fundus pictures of the baby showed Retinopathy of Prematurity in stage 3 with aggressive (APROP-Aggressive Posterior ROP) disease. The baby was advised for ROP management at the earliest to stop the aggressive progression of disease & to save the sight.
