What are the consequences of ROP- Causes of childhood blindness

Your child's eye are precious. Take care


1. Myopia (refractive error, near-sightedness)- High minus power glasses which makes life difficult for child
2. Squint- both eyes are not parallel to each other & appear deviated ( cross eyes)
3. Poor vision- Amblyopia
4. Retinal detachment & blindness - This can occur in 1 eye or both eyes. Retina is like curtain situated at the back side of eye where image is created & then image is transferred to brain via nerves
