Abstract

Introduction: Incidence of ROP in premature babies has increased since the introduction of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Premature babies are more vulnerable to ROP in developing countries as opposed to the developed ones.

Results: All 37 doctor were aware of ROP. 32 (86.5%) doctors said that ROP is preventable. 34 (91.9%) doctors knew that examining retina is how ROP identified. Only 21 (56.8%) doctors knew on when the first eye examination of premature babies should be performed. 35 (94.6%) doctors were sure that ROP is curable, while 20 (54.1%) doctors answered laser as the therapy for ROP.
