A. Yes, premature babies typically require an eye test, especially if they are born before 32 weeks of gestation or have a low birth weight (less than 1500 grams). Premature babies are at risk for a condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), where abnormal blood vessels grow in the eyes. ROP can lead to vision problems or even blindness if not detected and treated early. The eye test, called a retinal screening or ROP screening, is usually done by a pediatric ophthalmologist around 4-6 weeks of age or once the baby is stable. The pediatrician or neonatologist will guide you on when the screening is needed based on your baby's specific health situation.
