Long-term eye health in former premature babies
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at long-term eye health in people who were born prematurely and had retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening as babies. It aims to understand how the eyes develop over many years.

This study looks at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina) of premature infants who are at risk for retinopathy of prematurity, a condition that can harm vision. It aims to improve care and monitoring by using advanced eye imaging to see more detail than current methods.
This study looks at how laser or injection treatments for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) affect vision and eye health later in life. It also includes children who had ROP but did not need treatment.
This study tests a new eye imaging device to check for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a condition that can affect vision in premature babies. It may help doctors diagnose ROP earlier and more easily at the bedside.
This trial tests an educational program for parents to help them understand why their premature baby needs eye screening for retinopathy of prematurity (a condition that can affect vision). It may help parents feel more confident and informed about the screening process.
This study tests two drug-free methods to help reduce pain when premature babies get a special eye exam for retinopathy of prematurity. It may help your baby feel more comfortable during the procedure.
This trial looks at whether red blood cell transfusions are linked to health problems in very premature babies. It may help doctors better understand how to care for these infants.
