<unk>  <unk> , also called retrolental fibroplasia (RLF) and Terry syndrome, is a disease of the eye affecting prematurely born babies generally having received neonatal intensive care, in which oxygen therapy is used due to the premature development of their lungs. It is thought to be caused by disorganized growth of retinal blood vessels which may result in scarring and retinal detachment.<unk>  can be mild and may resolve spontaneously, but it may lead to blindness in serious cases. Thus, all preterm babies are at risk for<unk> , and very low birth-weight is an additional risk factor. Both oxygen toxicity and relative hypoxia can contribute to the development of<unk> . It was first reported by Theodore L. Terry in 1942.
