Retinopathy of prematurity is a complication affecting very low birth weight infants; it is produced by numerous factors. We review nutritional and growth aspects associated with larger or lesser incidence and severity of retinopathy. This information would allow a better prediction of risk and, a clinical management to minimize visual damage.
