During a scheduled Retinopathy of Prematurity
(ROP) screening by the LVPEI team at Bhubaneswar, Dr Prakhar and Optometrist
Sameer diagnosed a baby with Congenital Glaucoma within a few hours of birth.
The baby was immediately shifted to the LVPEI Bhubaneswar campus and
successfully administered glaucoma filtering surgery, which cleared the cornea
of one eye and showed minimal hazing in the other eye. Thanks entirely to the
timely intervention by the screening team as well as the doctors at LVPEI
Bhubaneswar, the baby will be able to see the world. The team is now keeping track of the little
patient through the referring pediatrician.
