RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY (ROP)

At Dr. G.S. Randhawa Eye Hospital & LASIK Centre, we are committed to ensuring the vision health of our youngest patients. We are proud to offer advanced services for the screening and management of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a critical condition that can affect premature infants.

Understanding ROP

ROP is a potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants who are born before the development of their retinal blood vessels is complete. Without timely intervention, ROP can lead to vision impairment or even permanent blindness. Early detection and appropriate treatment are essential in preventing vision loss due to ROP.

Our ROP Services

  1. State-of-the-Art Screening:

Our hospital is equipped with the latest equipment and technology for the screening of ROP in newborn babies. We utilize specialized tools and techniques to assess the development of the retinal blood vessels and identify any signs of ROP at the earliest stages.

  1. Experienced Ophthalmologists:

Our team of experienced ophthalmologists, including Dr. G.S. Randhawa, is trained in the diagnosis and management of ROP. They work closely with neonatologists and pediatricians to ensure comprehensive care for premature infants at risk of ROP.

  1. Individualized Treatment Plans:

If ROP is detected, we develop individualized treatment plans tailored to the specific needs of each baby. Treatment options may include laser therapy, cryotherapy, or anti-VEGF injections, depending on the severity and stage of ROP.

  1. Follow-Up Care:

We provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up care to track the progress of ROP treatment and ensure optimal visual outcomes for affected infants. Our goal is to preserve and protect their vision for a lifetime of healthy eyesight.

Community Awareness and Education:

In addition to clinical services, we are committed to raising awareness about ROP among parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. We conduct educational programs, workshops, and outreach initiatives to promote early detection and intervention for ROP.
