Summary

This study aims to understand how blood vessels around the fovea (a key part of the eye for sharp vision) develop in infants with retinopathy of prematurity, a leading cause of childhood blindness. Researchers will use a special imaging technique (OCTA) to track changes in blood vessel density and size over time. The goal is to gather knowledge that could help improve future treatments.
