retrolental fibroplasia

An eye disorder affecting premature babies who have been exposed to unduly high concentrations of oxygen in incubators. It is a form of retinopathy in which fronds of new blood vessels and strands of fibrous tissue extend into the vitreous gel behind the lens, seriously interfering with vision and leading, later, to RETINAL DETACHMENT. Early treatment with a freezing probe (cryopexy) can prevent retinal detachment.
