Learning about ROP eye screening for parents of premature babies
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new educational program to help parents of premature babies understand the eye condition ROP (retinopathy of prematurity) and why screening is important. By taking part, you'll learn how to care for your baby's eye health and potentially prevent vision problems.
