Result: Flat neovascularisation was seen in 8 eyes in zone 1,one eye in zone 2. One eye showed a large vascular loop in zone 2. 3 babies with APROP had very low gestation age <28wks.2 babies were of birth weight >1250gms & Gestational age >32weeks. Conclusion: Higher birth weight and gestational age babies with multiple risk factors also need to be viewed with suspicion for APROP.
