Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Treatment
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) treatment is a specialized procedure to prevent vision loss in premature babies. ROP occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina of preterm infants, which can lead to retinal detachment and blindness if left untreated. Early detection and timely treatment are crucial for preserving sight and ensuring proper visual development.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our expert team offers advanced screening and treatment options to manage ROP effectively, ensuring the best possible visual outcomes for premature infants.
How Does It Work?
- ROP screening is performed on premature or low-birth-weight infants.
- Treatment depends on the severity of the disease.
- Laser therapy (photocoagulation) is used to stop abnormal vessel growth.
- Anti-VEGF injections help reduce abnormal blood vessel formation.
- In severe cases, vitrectomy or retinal surgery may be required.
- The procedure is performed under anesthesia for infant comfort.
- Regular follow-ups ensure proper retinal development.
- Timely treatment significantly improves long-term vision outcomes.
