The Retinopathy of Prematurity Clinic at Sarakshi Netralaya is one of the topmost and reputed ROP treatment clinics in Nagpur. Sarakshi Netralaya is the top benchmark standard for hospital quality.

Retinopathy of Prematurity is a condition in which there is abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina. This leads to the loss of vision among premature babies. Usually, it affects babies born before 31 weeks of pregnancy. Most of the time, the condition resolves itself. However, in some cases, the condition might progress, and medical treatment might be needed to fix it. If the necessary treatment is not provided on time, it can lead to partial blindness or permanent loss of vision.
Effective treatments for this condition are as follows:
  • Laser therapy:One of the most common methods to treat severe ROP is laser therapy. It is one of the most trusted methods to treat ROP. Although some of the peripheral vision of the infant might get compromised, the central vision can be spared.
  • Medications: Although the research to find the exact cure for ROP through medications is still ongoing, there are a few drugs which can help when given under the influence of brief anesthesia.

We have you covered.

Does ROP cause blindness?

Yes, Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) can lead to blindness if left untreated. It is a serious eye condition that affects premature infants, and early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent vision loss.

Premature babies may begin to develop their vision between 30 – 35 weeks of gestational age, but their vision will continue to develop over the following months. By about 6 months of age, many premature infants can see more clearly and track objects.

Sarakshi Netralaya is recognized for providing comprehensive ROP treatment in Nagpur, featuring advanced diagnostic tools and treatment options tailored for premature infants.

In some cases, mild ROP may resolve on its own without treatment. However, more severe cases require medical intervention to prevent complications, including blindness.

New treatments for ROP include advanced laser therapy and intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) medications, which help inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina. Ongoing research is also exploring innovative techniques to improve outcomes for affected infants.
