Patient's question:
My friend's child is a premature baby. From the moment of birth, they had retinal problems, and the inflammation has recurred again. After being born, they stayed in an incubator for more than a month. We noticed some red blood vessels in the baby's eyes. After the doctor's thorough examination, it was diagnosed as retinal disease. Hello, to what extent is this inflammation serious?Doctor's answer:
Premature infants with retinal function issues are primarily considered to be caused by long-term chronic oxygen exposure. If it's just a simple case of red eyes, it's generally necessary to check whether the symptom is due to prolonged oxygen exposure or caused by other factors such as blood pressure and blood sugar conditions. The temporary inflammation level needs to be examined through ophthalmological fundus examinations.
