Eye imaging study for premature infants at risk of retinopathy
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is less than 35 weeks of corrected age (age since last menstrual period) at their first visit.
- Your baby is eligible for routine retinopathy of prematurity screening based on guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- You, as the parent or legal guardian, are willing to allow the study team to contact you and to give consent for your baby to join.
- If your baby is transferred to a nursery for retinopathy treatment, they may also be included.

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 study looks at children who had ROP (an eye problem in premature babies) to see how their vision and the back of the eye (retina) develop over time. It compares children who received treatment with those who did not, to learn more about long-term effects.
This study looks at the long-term eye health of people who were born prematurely and screened for a condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which affects the blood vessels in the eye. It aims to understand how their vision has developed over time.
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.
This study uses pictures to map the tiny blood vessels in an infant’s retina (the back of the eye). It may help researchers better understand how eye blood vessel growth happens in premature babies who need screening for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity).
This study looks at eye structure in children who were in an earlier premature-baby eye study and are now around 4.5–5 years old. It may help researchers better understand how eye disease in prematurity develops and how to monitor it.
