- Objective: To determine the frequency of retinopathy in birth weight of newborn babies. Material and Method: Present research was cross-sectional in its design. The place of this research was Jinnah Hospital, Lahore (February to July 2017). Participant of research were sixty (N=60) newborn babies with birth weight from 800 – 2500 grams, gestational age of 28 – 40 weeks form both genders. We evaluated Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) upon selected participants. Result: Mean weight of participant was (1484.17 ± 532.940) grams, mean gestational age was (32.67 ± 3.767) weeks, and mean duration of hospital stay was (14.52 ± 6.606) days. There are 33% (20) patients with Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), 55% (11) was with Grade- I ROP then 35% (7) with Grade- II ROP and then 10% (2) with Grade- III. Conclusion: research findings indicate that many newborn babies with Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the majority belong to Grade- I ROP. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) was developed in every newborn baby who is very premature. We concluded that a significant correlation of Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with the length of oxygen supplementation, weight, and gender of the baby.
