Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter was premature at the age of seven months. Then, she was found to have a disease after a thorough examination. It's retinopathy, and the doctor said that if it's serious, her eyes could lose sight. How should retinopathy in premature infants be treated?Doctor's answer:
Now in this stage, it is premature infants with retinopathy, which basically requires consideration of the possibility of premature infants choking and excessive oxygen intake. In addition, because premature infants themselves have problems with retinal growth and development function, leading to the above manifestations, this situation can only be addressed through lifestyle control. Generally, it is symptomatic treatment, and if it cannot be controlled, surgery with laser or electrocoagulation may be necessary.
