Does oxygen therapy during pregnancy cause blindness in the fetus?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, clinical studies on the effects of oxygen on newborn retinas focus on the situation where high concentrations of oxygen are administered for a long time without indications for oxygen therapy after birth, which can cause a certain degree of impact on the newborn's retina. However, if fetal movement is frequent during pregnancy and oxygen treatment is provided, it is the correct approach and will not affect the baby's retina.
