A bilateral retinopathy occurring in premature infants treated with excessively high
concentrations of oxygen, characterized by vascular dilatation, proliferation, and
tortuosity, edema, and retinal detachment, with ultimate conversion of the retina
into a fibrous mass that can be seen as a dense retrolental membrane. Usually growth
of the eye is arrested and may result in microophthalmia, and blindness may occur.
(Dorland, 27th ed)
