Retinopathy of prematurity is being seen more often as more low birth weight infants are surviving. Figure 1 shows a chart useful for recording findings in ROP and Figure 2 is a view of the retina as seen in a premature infant.

1.	Retinopathy of prematurity is recorded according to:
	a. grade b. stage c. extent d. (a) and (b) e. (a), (b), and (c)
2.	An important feature for grading of the early phase of retinopathy of prematurity is:
	a. diameter of the vessels at the far extent of zone III b. color of the disc c. length of the inferior ciliary processes d. character of the vessels at the junction of vascular and avascular retina e. (a) and (b)
3.	Most retinopathy of prematurity develops at post gestational age:
	a. 20 – 30 weeks b. 30 – 40 weeks c. 40 – 50 weeks d. 50 – 60 weeks e. none of the above
