Patient's question:
Due to my preeclampsia, the baby was born at 27 weeks, which is April 18, 2017. On day 22 (May 10), the eye exam began. At 62 days (June 19), it showed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP, zone 2 stage 2, left eye plus). At 69 days (June 26), bilateral vitreous cavity anesthesia was used. At 85 days (July 12), the eye exam showed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP, zone 2 stage 3 right eye, zone 2 stage 2 left eye). The right eye showed significant bulging on the nasal side again, and the baby was transferred to another hospital. The baby may have been exhausted during the transfer, as they were using nasal cannula ventilation. After arriving at the hospital, the baby was put on a ventilator. Hello, how can eye surgery not be performed on the baby while they are on a ventilator? If we wait for the baby to wean off the ventilator, will it delay treatment? Days have passed, and the parents are anxious and don’t know what to do! We sincerely ask all the doctors to understand the parents’ urgency and help us! Phone: 18669913999Doctor's answer:
The current condition involves congenital retinal disease. In this situation, the best approach is to stabilize the symptoms as much as possible while also considering potential dysfunction in other organs. Therefore, the current treatment plan focuses on symptomatic management to ensure the child's normal growth and development, while also protecting their vision and the function of other organs. This is a comprehensive evaluation-based treatment approach. Thank you.
