Inquiry
A parent inquires about treatment methods for premature infants with retinopathy, mentioning that the child has undergone two anesthetic eye surgeries at home but the condition has not improved. They ask if there are better treatment options available.
Response
Medical professionals suggest that due to the child’s young age, it is currently not possible to conduct detailed fundus examinations. They recommend visiting a second-tier or higher hospital for an examination when the child is three months old. If any abnormalities are found, they can be referred to a third-tier hospital in the provincial city for a follow-up consultation. After the examination, further fundus examinations and electroretinography (ERG) tests may be required. Additionally, the affiliated ophthalmology hospital of a medical university is also a good choice due to its professional reputation. It is hoped that these suggestions will be helpful to the parents.
