ROP SCREENING (RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY)
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature and low birth weight babies. In ROP, the blood vessels of the retina develop abnormally and, if left untreated, can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness. Early screening and timely treatment are essential to protect your baby's eyesight.
At Rana Eye Centre, we provide comprehensive ROP Screening using advanced retinal examination techniques. Our experienced retina specialists carefully examine premature infants and recommend appropriate treatment whenever necessary. Early diagnosis significantly improves the chances of preserving normal vision.
Who Should Undergo ROP Screening?
- Babies born before 34 weeks of pregnancy.
- Babies weighing less than 2000 grams at birth.
- Premature babies admitted to the NICU.
- Infants requiring oxygen therapy or ventilator support.
- Babies advised by pediatricians or neonatologists for retinal examination.
Symptoms of ROP
In the early stages, ROP usually has no visible symptoms. This is why routine screening is extremely important for premature babies. Delayed diagnosis may result in retinal detachment and irreversible vision loss.
