Pregnancy is a challenging process that requires extra attention throughout the entire pregnancy to prevent unexpected situations from affecting fetal development. In daily life, some pregnant women may experience premature birth due to various reasons. For premature infants, in addition to routine examinations, fundus examinations are also necessary for their health. So why do premature infants need to undergo fundus examination?
Premature infants usually refer to babies born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Premature infants have poor physical resistance due to their underdeveloped state, especially after birth, they still need to inhale oxygen to ensure the survival of the fetus. For premature infants, retinal lesions are prone to occur, so fundus examination is necessary after birth.
Generally, premature infants have fragile bodies and their various organs are not well developed. Therefore, after birth, doctors will conduct a series of examinations on premature infants to ensure their health, including fundus examination. Through these examinations, we can understand whether the fetus's eyes are healthy and whether there is a possibility of retinal lesions, and then take correct measures.
Retinopathy has a significant impact on the health of babies, and can even cause blindness or other serious illnesses in severe cases. Therefore, early examination can provide peace of mind. Premature babies usually develop slowly and require careful care from their mothers. They should pay attention to keeping warm in their daily lives and try to breastfeed as much as possible to accelerate their physical development.
