Retrolental Fibroplasia
Retrolental fibroplasia, or retrocrystalline fibroplasia, corresponds to retinopathy of prematurity, a retinal condition that can occur in babies born prematurely, in which the blood vessels of the eye do not develop normally.
Why it happens: It is related to the immaturity of the retina in premature newborns, whose eye development has not yet been completed at the time of birth.
Importance of follow-up: Timely eye examination in at-risk babies allows monitoring the progression of the retina and acting in time as determined by the professional.
Which specialists evaluate it? The ophthalmologist performs the examination of the baby's retina and the pediatrician coordinates the general care of the premature infant. If your baby was born before term, it is advisable to follow the recommended ophthalmological examinations to protect their vision.
