[AERNet] effects of ROP aside from visual impairment

[Sarah J. Blake]

Hi, Kimberly.

I don't know what exactly you are looking for... If you're referring to the 
stereotypic assumptions such as lack of spatial awareness, etc, these are 
not "side effects" of ROP. They are often related to other problems that are 
common in premature infants, which is why all people with ROP do not 
experience. There is some good information at
www.prematurity.org
about the long-term impact of prematurity which you may find interesting. It 
is very important not to confuse other impacts of prematurity with impacts 
of ROP!
