Dehradun, Aug. 5 -- Graphic Era Hospital brought new hope by saving the eyesight of two premature babies. The hospital's doctors successfully treated Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a serious eye condition seen in babies born too early.
ROP happens when a baby's eyes are not fully developed at birth, which can lead to blindness. These two babies were born at just 28 weeks, and their condition was very critical. They were diagnosed with Stage 3, Zone 1 ROP - a stage that can quickly damage eyesight.
