Retinopathy of prematurity

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) at EYEONE VISION CENTER

1. Overview

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye condition that affects premature or low-birth-weight infants. Their retina, which develops in the last months of pregnancy, may remain incomplete, leading to abnormal blood vessel growth. If not detected and treated early, ROP can threaten vision or even lead to blindness. At EYEONE VISION CENTER, we understand how delicate and emotionally sensitive neonatal care can be. Our specialized ROP services focus on early detection, timely treatment, and long-term protection of your baby’s vision, ensuring the best possible start to life.
