Laser treatment is the most common and effective method to manage Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). In this procedure, a laser beam is used to carefully seal or destroy the abnormal peripheral retina where new, fragile blood vessels are growing. This prevents further abnormal growth, reduces the risk of retinal detachment, and helps preserve the baby’s vision.The procedure is safe, done under anesthesia, and usually completed in a single session. Most babies respond well to laser treatment, and with timely screening and follow-up, the chances of long-term vision loss are significantly reduced.
At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital & Research Centre, we offer advanced ROP laser therapy with precision equipment and experienced retina specialists. Our neonatal eye care team ensures gentle, effective treatment and close monitoring to give premature babies the best chance of healthy vision.
