Questions about this service
Can a baby have ROP without visible symptoms?
Yes. ROP usually cannot be recognised by parents from external appearance, which is why scheduled screening matters.
Is screening urgent?
It can be time-critical. Follow the neonatal and specialist team’s schedule without delay.
