I have represented preemies’ families all over the country who had a child blinded by this disease. There should NEVER occur retinal detachments! The greatest expert retinal and pediatric ophthalmologists have helped to hold negligent ophthalmologists and hospitals accountable wherever the totally detached retinas weren’t timely treated, causing lifelong blindness. I HAVE HELPED SO MANY VERY LOW BIRTHWEIGHT AND GESTATIONAL AGED BABIES WHERE LACK OF TIMELY SCREENING AND TREATMENT SHOULD HAVE RESULTED IN NORMAL VISION! I have studied ROP for well over a decade.
