Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a condition that affects premature infants. In this condition, the blood vessels in the retina grow abnormally and can lead to scarring or detachment of the retina. This can result in severe vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Treatment for ROP includes laser therapy or cryotherapy to prevent further abnormalities in the retina. More advanced stages of ROP need surgery.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR ROP

If you are looking for surgical treatment options for Retinopathy of prematurity, plan a consultation with Prof. Marco Mura at the Department of Ophthalmology Arcispedale Sant’Anna in Ferrara or at Casa di Cura Toniolo in Bologna, Italy.
