If you weighed less than 2 pounds at birth and you were born after 1984, you were screened for it. If you were born before 1984, you'll have to do some digging in your medical files or see an Opthalmologist who is well versed in ROP. Sometimes the damage can be seen around the very edges of the retina as an adult.
