Even after timely treatment, some premature babies affected by Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) may develop long-term vision problems such as squint, lazy eye (amblyopia), refractive errors, or low vision. These children require continuous monitoring and special care to ensure the best possible visual development.
ROP rehabilitation focuses on:
Regular eye check-ups to monitor vision growth
Early detection and correction of refractive errors with glasses
Treatment of squint or amblyopia with exercises, patching, or surgery if needed
Low-vision aids and visual therapy for children with reduced sight
At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital & Research Centre, we provide a complete ROP rehabilitation program, combining medical care, visual therapy, and parental support. Our goal is to help children achieve maximum vision potential and lead a normal life.
It is ongoing care and support for children treated for ROP to help them develop the best possible vision.
Some children may still have vision problems like squint, lazy eye, or glasses requirement, even after successful treatment.
Regular follow-ups, glasses, patching for lazy eye, squint treatment, visual therapy, and low-vision aids if required.
Your doctor will decide based on the child’s condition, but regular follow-ups through childhood are important.
Yes. With timely treatment and proper rehabilitation, most children can have good vision and lead a normal life.
