What should i do when my baby's suffering from retinopathy?

See an eye dr.: Retinopathy indicates that something has happened to the retina. Seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist (eye doctor) is the best way to determine what has happened and what your treatment plan and follow-up should be.

Eye exam: Retinopathy of prematurity is not to be neglected. An infants retinal blood vessels may take time to mature. As they mature, a retinal specialist must follow the maturation to ensure normal progression. Abnormal blood vessel growth can threaten vision. Fortunately, treatment is available via laser, surgery and injectable medications.
