ROP Lasers

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) Laser Treatment

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding eye disorder that primarily affects premature infants. At Dr. Naveen Super Speciality Eye Hospital, we offer timely ROP screening and laser treatment to preserve and protect the vision of newborns at risk.

Early detection and prompt laser therapy are critical in preventing retinal detachment and permanent vision loss in affected infants.

👶 NICU Screening

We collaborate with neonatal ICUs for early screening of preterm infants born before 34 weeks or weighing less than 2kg.

🔬 Precision Laser Therapy

Retinal laser photocoagulation is performed with utmost care to stop disease progression and prevent complications.

👨‍⚕️ Pediatric Retina Expertise

Dr. Naveen Nukala brings extensive experience in pediatric retinal care, ensuring delicate treatment for fragile eyes.

When Should ROP Screening Be Done?

✅ Infants born before 34 weeks of gestation
✅ Birth weight less than 2000 grams
✅ Prolonged oxygen therapy or NICU stay
✅ Screen within 4 weeks after birth or as advised by neonatologist

Our goal is to detect early signs and treat ROP before it leads to irreversible damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Laser treatment is performed under local anesthesia and is generally safe. Our team ensures utmost care and monitoring during the procedure.

Some babies may require glasses or follow-up vision care as they grow. Regular eye exams are essential to monitor their vision development.

Guidance for Parents of NICU Babies

If your baby was born prematurely or had an extended NICU stay, it’s important to discuss ROP screening with your neonatologist. Delaying or missing the screening window (typically within 4–6 weeks after birth) can lead to missed diagnoses.
