Retinopathy of prematurity (PH) is a vitreoretinal vasoproliferative disease of premature infants, which is based on the immaturity of the structures of the eye at the time of premature birth of the child. PH remains one of the main causes of blindness and visual impairment since early childhood. The transition of the Russian Federation to international criteria for live birth and the inclusion in the state statistics of perinatal mortality of newborns with a body weight of 500 g and a gestation period of 22 weeks has led to an increase in the frequency of disabling diseases of premature infants, including retinopathy of prematurity. The well-regulated and coordinated work of ophthalmologists and neonatologists in perinatal centers has made it possible in recent years to reduce the number of children with disabling stages of retinopathy of prematurity type I. The efficiency of laser treatment of PH stage forms was 100 %. Surgical treatment of 311 children with an average birth weight of 916.06 g and a gestational age of 26.6 weeks was effective in 86.81 % of cases.
