Oxygen: The care of premature birth babies is a battle between things known to increase survival including oxygen administration versus the risk of this life-saving oxygen cause retinopathy. No intervention is as good as oxygen and so this is an assumed risk. Treatment for this is possible including bevicizumab injections and laser treatment.

Prematurity & weight: Retinopathy of prematurity is associated with babies that are born premature, usually less than 32 weeks gestational age (weeks the mom is pregnant) and babies born less than 1500 gram (3 less than pounds and 4.9 ounces). Babies that have infections, anemia, heart problems and those of diabetic mothers are at slightly higher risk.
