Did the hospital ask for an eye screening when the baby was born and was there a problem?

Patient's question:

When the baby was born, the hospital required an eye screening, and the results showed white spots in the peripheral retina. They asked for a follow-up check-up in one month. Thinking about it, how serious is this condition, and what kind of interference might it cause?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the current symptoms, it is possible that the condition may be due to congenital developmental issues or premature birth in the child, which could be causing the current symptoms. For relief, you can wait for a month and then take the child for a follow-up examination. The treatment plan can then be determined based on the situation. In the meantime, it is important to feed the child appropriately, mainly by increasing the mother's nutrition to improve milk quality. For example, consuming more high-quality protein such as milk, fish, eggs, etc.
