Can retinal vessel tortuosity and dilation in newborns be treated?

Patient's question:

My little girl, a full-term baby born naturally, had her eye screening on the third day. Below are the symptoms: it was found that there was an abnormality in the blood vessels of her left eye. Could you please help me see if it can be diagnosed as what issue? Is it treatable? What impact will it have on her future vision!!

Doctor's answer:

According to the results of the retinal screening, it seems that the left eye has twisted and dilated blood vessels. Is it a vascular malformation? Of course, the possibility of a retinal angioma cannot be ruled out. In this case, since I was born only a few days ago, during the fundus examination at the maternity and child health hospital, I should not have had any further examinations a few days before birth. I will go to Taihe Hospital tomorrow for the B eye, which has been two weeks. Re-examine the fundus, how much impact will this have on future children, is the treatment troublesome? What treatments need to be done, and what if there is no effect after treatment! Thank you for your advice not to go to small hospitals. It is recommended to go directly to a big hospital for confirmation.
