ROP Screening for Premature Babies in Hyderabad
Early Detection of Retinopathy of Prematurity at Retinova Eye Care Centre
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a potentially serious eye condition that affects premature and low birth weight babies. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels develop in the retina, which may lead to retinal damage and permanent vision loss if not diagnosed and treated early.
At Retinova Eye Care Centre, we offer specialized ROP screening in Hyderabad for premature infants using advanced neonatal retinal examination techniques. Early screening and timely treatment play a critical role in protecting your baby’s eyesight and ensuring healthy visual development.
What Is ROP Screening?
ROP screening is a detailed retinal examination performed by a trained retina specialist to detect early signs of Retinopathy of Prematurity. The screening is typically recommended for babies born before 34 weeks of gestation or weighing less than 2 kilograms at birth.
The procedure is safe and carefully performed using specialized instruments designed for neonatal eye evaluation. If ROP is detected early, treatment such as laser therapy or other advanced interventions can prevent serious complications.
