Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) remains one of the leading causes of preventable childhood blindness, particularly in low-resource settings where specialist access is limited. Although deep learning has improved automated ROP detection, most existing models rely solely on retinal images and function as opaque black boxes, limiting clinical trust and realworld adoption. This study proposes a robust and trustworthy ROP diagnosis framework that combines Vision-Language Modeling (VLM) and Explainable AI. The pipeline fuses high-resolution wide-field retinal fundus images with neonatal NICU text records using a lightweight Vision Transformer, a clinical text encoder, and a neuro-symbolic reasoning layer for human-in-the-loop corrections. A key technical enhancement applies Weighted-Fuzzy Histogram Equalization (WFHE) to boost local vascular contrast while avoiding artifacts, outperforming Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization CLAHE in highlighting subtle pathological cues. Evaluations on benchmark ROP datasets, paired with semi-structured NICU reports, demonstrate that the multimodal system improves diagnostic AUC by 7-9 % compared to image-only baselines, and delivers dual explanations through Grad-CAM heatmaps and SHAP token-level attributions. Structured clinician feedback confirms that the system\u2019s explanations align with expert annotations and improve interpretability and trust. This framework demonstrates that integrating WFHE, Vision-Language fusion, and multi-level explainability can enable transparent, deployable AI for equitable neonatal vision care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
