Timely referral of the high risk infants is critical to diagnose and treat advanced stages of the disease. Objective: Evaluation of practice of Guilan province pediatricians about screening criteria for ROP. Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, Guilan province pediatricians practice about screening criteria for ROP have been evaluated by face to face method (using a questionnaire). Results: 78 Cases (78.8%)of the pediatricians participated in this study. 40 Cases (51.3%) considered prematurity alone as the sufficient criterion to refer infant for ROP screening. 38 pediatricians (48.7%) declared one or more risk factors to refer infant for ROP screening. About the appropriate time for screening,7 pediatricians (9%) voted for immediately after birth,15(19.2%) immediately after hospital discharge, 34 (44.6%) end of 4 weeks of birth,7 (9%) at the end of second months of age, and 8 (10.3%) after 2 months of age. only 21 (26.9%) pediatricians referred infants to the pediatric ophthalmologists or fellow of retina. 69 (88.5%) pediatricians requested for written reports of eye examination of which 47 cases (68.1%) recorded the written reports in medical records of the patients. Data analyzed by using chisquare and fisher exact test. Conclusion: it seems that upgrading of pediatricians practice helps for early diagnosis and treatment of infants at risk of ROP.
