Abstract
IMPORTANCE: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of preventable childhood blindness worldwide. If detected and treated early, ROP-associated blindness is preventable; however, identifying patients who might respond to treatment requires screening over time, which is challenging in low-resource settings where access to pediatric ophthalmologists and pediatric ocular imaging cameras is limited.
