Hi
Could you help me to check grammar in the following text?
Thank you.

"Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an important and preventable cause of childhood blindness. For this reason, in VISION 2020 program initiated by the World Health Organization to eliminate avoidable blindness, the control of the disease was highlighted. As the survival rate of very low birth weight infant increase in developing countries, also including our country, due to improvement in neonatal care, the frequency of disease has increased. The basic strategy for prevention of blindness from ROP is to identify the patients requiring treatment by examining within certain protocol. In this process, which was also called “Screening program”, it is important to identify babies needing treatment as many as possible, while minimizing the number of examinations. In this respect, the risk group should be well defined and diagnosis, follow up and treatment process should be done in a standard protocol. In this review it was aimed to give information about the about the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of ROP"
