Abstract

The third World Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Congress, held in Shanghai in October 2012, showed that international collaborations have already built up from the previous 2 events. The participants learned about ROP from across the world: who it affects and its behavior, and in a way that would not be possible from the literature. Emerging technologies and treatments are set to have a major impact on the identification and treatment of ROP. Undoubtedly, the picture will have changed dramatically by the fourth World ROP Congress in Mexico in 3 years.
