The prevention and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an important strategic content of blindness prevention and treatment in China. Medical institutions including remote areas have strengthened the awareness of neonatal fundus screening, however, there are problems of vague screening standards, mainly manifested in expanding the scope of screening and even universal screening of newborns. At the same time, all kinds of fundus changes found in the examination cannot be correctly interpreted and handled, which increase the economic and psychological burden of children's families. In addition, with the wide application of intravitreal injection of anti-neovascular endothelial growth factor, problems such as improper grasp of indications and improper treatment of complications have become increasingly prominent. At this stage, it is urgent to strengthen the construction of ROP prevention and control network, which is suitable for China's national conditions, led by the government and coordinated participation of health and medical institutions at all levels.
