Retinopathy of Prematurity Treatment

A Condition Affecting Premature Infants

Retinopathy of prematurity occurs when abnormal blood vessels develop in the retina of babies born early, particularly those with low birth weight.

The Importance of Screening

Because early stages show no visible symptoms, structured screening for at-risk newborns is essential to catch changes before they threaten vision.

Specialised Infant Eye Care

Our paediatric retina team provides careful monitoring and, when required, laser or injection treatment designed specifically for a developing infant's eye.

Partnering With Neonatal Teams

Our paediatric retina specialists coordinate closely with neonatal care teams, ensuring at-risk infants are screened on schedule and any necessary treatment begins without delay.

Our Diagnostic Approach

Screening typically begins a few weeks after birth and continues on a set schedule until the retina has matured sufficiently.
