THIS ISSUE OF THE ARCHIVES includes a trilogy of articles from the Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Study Group that reports 10-year follow-up findings.^1-3 An avalanche of data is presented on ophthalmological outcomes, the effect of ablative therapy for threshold ROP on visual fields, and contrast sensitivity at age 10 years in children who had ROP. While all of these reports contain useful and important information, the topic that most ophthalmologists will focus on is visual outcomes.

The study group is to be commended for rigorous dedication to continued monitoring of long-term results. That ROP is a lifelong, dynamic condition is evident from the reported data—from the preliminary results in 1988 to reports at 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, and now 10 years.^4-8 For example, the 10-year data confirm that eyes that underwent cryotherapy are just as likely to have 20/40 visual acuity as control eyes.
