Mike basically solved how to treat retinopathy of prematurity ROP in affected babies when ROP was considered a non surgical and untreatable condition, right up through the 70s. Hundreds of thousands of people exist today with functional vision due to what he solved and then spent a lifetime teaching to vitreoretinal surgeons around the World. #ROP #MichaelTreseMD
