| | Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) FAQ |
| | It is important to keep in mind that the central retina, where the reading vision, straight ahead vision, and most of the color vision are located, is the most important part of the retina to save. | | | Some of the peripheral retina and, therefore, some of the side vision will likely be lost after these treatments. | | | The goal of the treatments is to save as much as possible of the central retina, where the best vision is located. |

| | In some individuals, however, there may be an area where the vitreous is firmly attached to the surface of the retina. | | | When surgery is performed to close a macular hole, no laser treatment is applied to the hole itself, as laser can be damaging to the delicate central tissue of the macula. | | | As a person ages, however, the vitreous jell begins to shrink and becomes more condensed toward the front part of the eye, being replaced by liquid as the process continues. |
