Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP disease) Treatment in Memorial Göztepe Hospital
About the clinic
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP disease) screening and monitoring at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on early detection to prevent blindness in infants. A consultation with an ophthalmologist may cost around $200–$300, while specialized eye ultrasounds are typically $220. The clinic holds JCI and ISO accreditations and operates a 24/7 neonatal intensive care unit for specialized infant support.
Diagnostic options for ROP
Specialists at the eye center use advanced imaging to monitor retinal development in premature babies. Early screening is essential for infants born before 32 weeks or weighing less than 1,500 grams. The diagnostic process includes several specialized tests:
- Ultrasound of the eye. This imaging tool helps doctors view internal eye structures and costs around $220.
- Ophthalmologist consultation. An expert evaluation of the infant's vision typically runs $200–$300.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT). This non-invasive test provides cross-sectional images of the retina for around $400.
- Brain MRI with contrast. Used in specific cases to check neurological links, this scan is around $1,000.
- Serial dilated fundus examination. This is the primary method for ROP monitoring. The first exam occurs at 4 weeks after birth.
ROP screening and monitoring protocol
The clinic follows a strict schedule to track how blood vessels grow in a child's eyes. Doctors perform follow-up fundus exams every 1 to 2 weeks depending on the ROP stage. This process continues until the retinal blood vessels finish growing completely. The eye center uses the Plus Optix Vision Screener and wide-angle OCT-A to get clear images of the infant's retina. This precise monitoring helps the medical team decide if and when intervention is needed to protect the child's sight.
Advanced facilities and support
Memorial Göztepe Hospital provides a safe environment for high-risk infants through its neonatal ICU. The eye center is equipped with argon and YAG lasers if treatment becomes necessary during the monitoring period. Families have access to psychological support and child-friendly waiting areas during the screening process. The International Patient Center helps families from abroad coordinate their visits and follow-up appointments. You can request a consultation for ROP screening by leaving a request on Bookimed.
