An eye condition that often goes unnoticed by parents, pediatricians, and the wider community can silently steal the sight of premature and low-birth-weight infants. This condition, called Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), must be detected and treated early — otherwise, children who appear healthy as babies can lose their vision years later in childhood. In 2016, this hidden threat became all too real for the eye doctors at C. L. Gupta Eye Institute, highlighting the urgent need for early screening and timely treatment to protect vulnerable newborns from preventable blindness.
