Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Premature babies can face a number of health challenges. One of the more common is called 鈥渞etinopathy of prematurity鈥 (ROP). It causes abnormal blood vessels to grow in a baby鈥檚 retina (the layer of nerve tissue that allows your baby to see). ROP has no signs or symptoms when it first develops in a newborn. The only way to detect it is through an eye examination by an ophthalmologist (eye specialist).聽
