    Description
    This image captures stage 4A Retinopathy of Prematurity, showing partial retinal detachment sparing the macula. The elevated retina and fibrous ridge indicate tractional forces secondary to extraretinal neovascularization. A striking representation of disease evolution, poised between reversibility and vision loss.
