ROP is an eye condition that affects premature babies, where abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina (the back of the eye), potentially leading to blindness if left untreated.
Babies born prematurely, especially those weighing less than 2000 grams or born before 34 weeks of pregnancy, are at highest risk.
ROP can only be detected by an eye examination performed by specialized healthcare professionals. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
Yes, if detected early. Treatments include laser therapy or injections, which have a high success rate when administered in a timely manner.
Most babies treated early for ROP lead normal lives with good vision. Regular follow-up with your eye care specialist is essential.
Regular screenings are necessary, starting 3-4 weeks after birth and continuing until the risk period has passed. Your healthcare provider will guide you through this process.
Contact your nearest healthcare facility or KIDROP screening center to schedule an examination and receive expert care.
