The average birth weight (BW) was 1803.87 g, and the average gestational age was 34 weeks. Respiratory distress, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sepsis, and apnea were present in 57.3%, 13%, 52.5%, and 25.4%, respectively.

Two babies with Type 1 ROP weighed &gt;2 kg and one had AROP. Upon regression analysis, BW &lt;1500 g, gestation &lt;32 weeks, oxygen &gt;48 h, clinical sepsis, total SNCU stay &gt;14 days, continuous positive airway pressure support with oxygen &gt;50%, and &gt;10 days to achieve full feeds were associated with severe ROP.

The burden of Type 1 and AROP is increasing, as seen in higher gestation and BWs. This needs revision of ROP screening criteria at local and national level. It is crucial to emphasize on the importance of pediatrician and ophthalmologist collaboration, early ROP screening, diagnosis, and treatment to stop disease progression to severe ROP.<\/jats:p>\n
