About Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in babies?

Question

My son was born with Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) at 30th week of pregenancy, in his 3rd month he totally recovered from that ,now he is 2 years 6 months old.

Now what my doubt is, will he be all right in his entire life or he will get any complications with his eye sight
please answer to my question

Answer 1

I would normally expect any significant damage from ROP to be manifest by two years of age, but I would be incredibly cautious about putting that forward as a firm prognosis without an eye exam, looking for unusual blood vessels, appearance of the lens...

If there's no cataract, and the ROP was not sufficiently advanced as to leave a risk of glaucoma, (usually at the level that requires laser intervention) then routine eye checks are all that should be needed, with no marked extra level of concern.
He would still have all the *normal* risks and hazards of growing up!

Answer 2

Premature babies are at risk for developing retinopathy as a side effect of disrupted vascular development, babies are not born with it. The most common therapy that causes damage but keeps your preemie alive is oxygen therapy. Your pediatrician should be able to direct you for optical exam.
" Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), previously known as retrolental fibroplasia (RLF), is a disease of the eye that affects prematurely born babies. It is thought to be caused by disorganised growth of retinal blood vessels which may result in scarring and retinal detachment. ROP can be mild and may resolve spontaneously, but may lead to blindness in serious cases. As such, all preterm babies are at risk for ROP, and very low birth weight is an additional risk factor. Both oxygen toxicity and relative hypoxia can contribute to the development of ROP."

Answer 3

pedestal is right .
just one last full examination of the eye by a surgeon and then you can carry on with regular follow ups .
good luck .
