Almetyevsk Children's Hospital has installed unique ophthalmological equipment for premature babies
In premature babies, this disease can develop almost unnoticed. Without timely diagnosis and correction, it leads to irreversible changes and becomes a cause of blindness. According to statistics, retinopathy ranks second among the causes of disability in premature infants — after neurological pathology.
The retinal camera provides a wide view of the entire eye, which allows ophthalmologists to thoroughly assess the condition of the retina and detect pathology at the earliest stage. The examination is carried out right in the department, without the need to transport the baby to other clinics.
Early detection of retinopathy makes it possible to start treatment in a timely manner and preserve the child’s vision. The earlier the changes are detected, the higher the chance of a favorable outcome.
The Almetyevsk Children's Hospital continues to develop its diagnostic capabilities so that young patients can receive care on‑site and do not need to travel to other cities.
