Suggest Treatment For Problem In Eye Of Baby After Premature Birth

Dears, I have problem with my kids. They are twins, I gave a birth when was on 29th week of pregnancy. Long time we, meaning myself and my kids were staying in hospital for rehabilitation. They wre under oxygen more than month, Now both of them have problem in one eye, it doesn’t\\\ t see at all, mikroftalm, fibroglioz in inside, doubts on partial detachment of retina, and no chance to see as I was said. Can u pls advise if there is any chance for them? or can you treat this? I very much hope to receive yes, but if it is not can you refer me somewhere where it is treatable. I got already NO from dunyagioz. Thanks a lot in advance, Bahar

Pediatrician,  's  Response
this condition is called retinopathy of prematurity , and it's risk increases in cases where this high demand of oxygen therapy , more than 21% needed to maintain saturation above 92% .
it's very helpful to identify the problem early with regular examination by the ophthalmologist.
some cases require early Lazer therapy to prevent retinal detachment and permanent blindness.
I recommend seeking other opinion of an expert pediatric ophthalmologist .
I find this answer helpful
