Abstract

Ophthalmopathy of prematurity (OH) was first described in 1942 by T. Terry and was named by him "Retrolental fibroplasia". Gradually, knowledge was accumulated that showed that retrolental fibroplasia is only the final stage of the process, and in 1951 Parker Heath proposed the term "Retinopathy of prematurity" (ROP). The development of science and its enrichment with new facts allowed the author of this article to propose a new term "Ophthalmopathy of prematurity", reflecting more fully the pathological process in the eye of a premature baby. Focusing only on the processes in the retina significantly narrows the doctor's thinking, reduces the objective assessment of changes in the eye, misses most of the negative ones, premature changes in the structures and functions of the eye that were not taken into account in the diagnosis of retinopathy. The accumulated clinical experience in the world and the results of many years of research of our department have shown that not only the retina suffers from this pathological process, but to a greater extent the choroid, the vessels of the anterior segment of the eyes and almost all structures of the eye (microphthalmos, corneal opacities, pupil overgrowth, cataracts, secondary glaucoma, dystrophy, folds, tears, rough pigmentation along the periphery of the retina, partial atrophy of the optic nerve, fibrotic changes of the vitreous body, anisometropia, amblyopia), which should be known, controlled and taken into account in the process of prevention, treatment and dispensary observation of patients. Insufficient attention to the huge number of negative manifestations of ROP reduces the quality of therapeutic measures. The proposed term "ophthalmopathy of prematurity" most fully reflects the morphophysiological changes in the eye, directing the ophthalmologist to an in-depth understanding and generalized study of this problem for the development of full-fledged, adequate therapeutic and preventive measures.
