Retinopathy of Prematurity Programme

Overview

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a serious eye disorder that can affect premature babies. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This can lead to vision problems and even blindness. At AKUH, we have a dedicated team of experts committed to providing comprehensive care for infants with ROP. Our advanced technology and multidisciplinary approach ensure the best possible outcomes for these vulnerable little ones.​
