Hello mam
Zone 3 is a kind of medical terminology to know upto what level the retina is vascularised on that day of examination.It will help the doctor on next visit with the progression or regression.
Just keep up with good follow ups.

Zone 3 is the most peripheral part of the retina which is the last part to get vascularised.
The three zones of ROP are centred on the optic disc.
Zone I is the small circle of retina around the optic disc. ...
Zone II is the ring-shaped section of the retina surrounding zone I, which extends to the ora serrata on the nasal side.
Zone III is a crescent-shaped area of temporal retina
