ROP Unit – Mazharul Haque BNSB Eye Hospital

The ROP Unit at Mazharul Haque BNSB Eye Hospital is dedicated to protecting the vision of premature and low-birth-weight babies. Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a serious eye condition that can lead to blindness if not detected and treated on time. Our hospital offers highly specialized screening, advanced treatment options, and neonatal eye care to ensure every premature baby has the best chance for healthy vision.

With trained ROP specialists, modern diagnostic tools, and safe treatment facilities, we provide world-class care tailored to the sensitive needs of newborns.

What is Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)?

ROP is a disease that affects the immature blood vessels of the retina in premature infants.
Infants born before 34 weeks or weighing less than 2000 grams are at higher risk.

If not treated early, ROP can cause:

  • Retinal detachment
  • Severe vision impairment
  • Permanent blindness

Because ROP develops silently, timely screening within the first few weeks of life is essential.

Specialized Screening & Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

ROP Screening for Premature Babies

Early screening is the key to preventing vision loss. Our ROP specialists visit NICUs, special care baby units, and neonatal centers to perform timely examinations.

Screening includes:

  • Indirect ophthalmoscopy
  • Dilated retinal examination
  • Evaluation of retinal blood vessel growth
  • Documentation of ROP stage and zone

We follow international guidelines to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely follow-up.

NICU & In-Hospital Screening Support

We collaborate with neonatal units and pediatricians for on-site ROP assessment.

Services for NICUs include:

  • Scheduled weekly or bi-weekly ROP rounds
  • Screening for all at-risk infants
  • Early referral and counseling
  • On-site laser or injection treatment (when necessary)

This ensures infants receive immediate care without delay.

Laser Treatment for ROP

Laser therapy is the gold-standard treatment for many stages of ROP.

Our ROP laser services include:

  • Safe and precise retinal laser photocoagulation
  • Performed in a controlled, neonatal-friendly environment
  • Minimally invasive and highly effective
  • Prevents progression to retinal detachment

Laser therapy helps protect the baby’s long-term vision.

Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections

For aggressive or posterior ROP, our specialists provide advanced Anti-VEGF injection therapy.

Benefits include:

  • Rapid control of severe ROP
  • Effective for aggressive posterior ROP (AP-ROP)
  • Short procedure with long-term monitoring
  • Safe and widely recommended globally

These injections are administered under strict aseptic conditions tailored for newborn safety.

Surgical Treatment for Advanced ROP

In cases where ROP has progressed to advanced stages, surgical intervention may be required.

Available surgeries include:

  • Vitrectomy for retinal detachment
  • Scleral buckling (in select cases)
  • Advanced vitreoretinal procedures

These surgeries are performed by skilled pediatric retina surgeons to give the infant the best chance of vision recovery.

Long-Term Follow-Up & Vision Monitoring

ROP babies require continuous eye care even after successful treatment.

Follow-up care includes:

  • Regular retinal examinations
  • Monitoring for refractive errors (myopia, astigmatism)
  • Early amblyopia detection and treatment
  • Assessment of eye alignment and visual development
  • Vision therapy guidance when needed

We support the child’s eye health throughout early childhood.

Parent Counselling & Neonatal Care Support

Caring for premature infants can be stressful for parents. Our team provides:

  • Clear explanation of the baby’s eye condition
  • Treatment guidance and expectations
  • Follow-up schedules and home care tips
  • Support for long-term visual development

We ensure parents feel informed, confident, and supported at every step.

Which Babies Need ROP Screening?

ROP screening is essential for babies who are:

  • Born before 34 weeks gestation
  • Weighing less than 2000 grams
  • Exposed to prolonged oxygen therapy
  • Suffering from infections or complications after birth

Parents should ensure their newborn receives the first screening within 4 weeks of birth.
