"By this stage the new disorder had acquired the resounding title of retrolental fibroplasia (or RLF for short), this seeming to be the most accurate technical description applicable to the bizarre greyish membrane formed behind the lenses of the babies' eyes."
—Michael Howell and Peter Ford, The Ghost Disease, and Twelve Other Stories of Detective Work in the Medical Field, (New York: Penguin Books, 1985), 212
