Background:

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant cause of visual impairment in premature infants.
Timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preventing vision loss.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the role of nurses in early detection and management of ROP.
To emphasize the integration of ROP screening into neonatal care services.

Main Methods:

Review of current neonatal nursing practices for ROP screening.
Analysis of the impact of nursing-led ROP services on patient outcomes.

Main Results:

Nurses are effectively identifying infants at risk for ROP.
Nursing-led services align with and enhance the clinic's compassionate care model.

Conclusions:

Early ROP diagnosis and treatment by nurses are essential for saving premature babies' sight.
Integrating ROP screening into neonatal care underscores a commitment to infant well-being and vision preservation.
