    Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disorder describing an immature vascularisation
    of a developing retina in low birth weight preterm infants. This condition potentially
    leads to blindness. ROP developed as a response of hypoxia of the eye due to
    incomplete development of the retinal vessels. ROP is commonly reported as
    bilateral disease,a small percentage of infants have asymmetrical changes. We
    report a case of long-term outcome of a asymmetry ROP changes with peripheral
    retinal ablation in a single eye. This particular case demonstrates the possible longterm
    outcome of unilaterally treated ROP which could either be due to the severity
    of the disease itself or the treatment she received. It is important to highlight the
    possibility of unequal development of the eye in asymmetrical presentation of ROP.
