First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looked at whether high iron levels in the blood increase the risk of a serious eye disease called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature babies. Researchers measured iron in the blood of 175 very premature infants during their first month of life and then checked their eyes for ROP. The goal was to see if iron could be a new risk factor for this condition.
