Premature Baby Unit
At Al-Ferdaws Eye Center, the first specialized unit for examining newborns and premature babies was established, providing comprehensive and integrated medical care. The unit aims to detect and treat retinopathy of prematurity early, a condition that can lead to impaired vision or loss if not treated promptly.
Services Provided in the Unit
The unit provides a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic services to ensure the best possible care for children, including:
1. Early Periodic Examination
Premature babies are carefully examined immediately after birth to ensure the health of their eyes and retinas.
The latest medical equipment is used to ensure accurate diagnosis and detect problems in their early stages.
2. Treatment of retinopathy of prematurity
Treatment for retinopathy of prematurity depends on the child's condition and the extent of the disease. Several options are offered, including:
Laser treatment.
Intraocular injections.
Surgical intervention, if necessary.
3. Long-Term Follow-Up
The unit offers comprehensive follow-up programs for premature babies to ensure healthy vision development as they grow older.
