Retinopathy of prematurity

This trial investigates whether an injection of ranibizumab, a drug that blocks abnormal blood vessel growth, can effectively treat aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) in premature infants. AP-ROP is a fast-progressing eye condition that can lead to retinal d…

This study tests whether a smartphone-based camera can accurately screen for eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. About 550 patients will have photos taken with both the smartphone camera and standard equipment. Ophthalmologis…

This study tested a computer system called i-ROP DL that automatically checks eye images from premature babies for a serious condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which can cause blindness. Researchers used over 1,200 babies' eye photos from multiple hospitals to see…

This trial tests whether playing different types of music during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) eye exams can reduce pain and improve comfort in premature infants. ROP exams are necessary but can be painful and stressful for babies. Researchers will compare pain and comfort sco…

This study is looking at thousands of premature and low-birth-weight babies in China to understand how common retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is today. ROP is an eye condition that can lead to blindness if not caught early. The researchers want to find out the best time and crit…

This study tested dexamethasone eye drops in 11 premature infants at risk of blindness from retinopathy of prematurity. Researchers measured how the drug enters the blood and saliva, and monitored for side effects. The goal was to gather safety and dosing information, not to prov…

This study explored whether the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in premature babies' bodies is linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured omega-3 levels in 62 premature newborns born before 29 weeks. The goal was to see if lower …

This completed study looked at over 7,000 premature infants to understand which babies develop a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and need treatment. Researchers used a cloud-based database to compare risk factors and outcomes. The goal was to improve…

This study looked at 175 premature babies to see if high iron levels in their blood during the first month of life are linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured iron-related markers and tracked which babies developed ROP. The …

This study followed about 100 babies who were treated for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with either Eylea injections or laser therapy in an earlier trial. Researchers checked their vision and eye health years later to see how well the treatments held up. The goal is to underst…
