Premature infants
Babies born early may need ROP screening because the retinal blood vessels may still be developing after birth.

Retina screening for premature babies.
Retinopathy of prematurity can affect babies born early or with low birth weight. Timely screening helps detect retinal changes early and plan treatment or follow-up when needed.
Book ROP screeningWhy it matters
ROP needs scheduled retina checks
ROP is time-sensitive. Parents should follow the neonatologist or retina specialist's screening schedule even when the baby appears comfortable.
Low birth weight
Low birth weight, oxygen support and neonatal complications can increase the need for careful retinal monitoring.
Follow-up timing
ROP may require repeat checks until the retina is mature or the specialist confirms that the risk has reduced.
