Case Study
Child 1: Eye disease screening was performed on the second day of birth, and a space-occupying lesion was found in the eye, which was further diagnosed as retinoblastoma (RB). After treatment, the condition was stable and the follow-ups are performed regularly.
Child 2: No eye disease screening was done at birth. When he was 2 years old, his parents found white reflections in the pupil area. After examination, he was diagnosed as RB. The effect of chemotherapy was not good, so the eyeball was enucleated.
Timely screening of neonatal eye diseases can avoid the consequences of serious disability and death caused by such eye diseases.
1、The incidence of neonatal eye disease is much higher than the incidence of congenital heart disease and hearing defects in the national general screening.
2、Newborn eye disease screening is supported by national policies and guidelines, and many provincial maternal and child health care hospitals have carried out newborn eye disease screening.
3、Some local and regional hospitals face traumatic challenges due to lack of professional equipment and pediatric ophthalmologists. Digital remote screening, diagnosis and treatment services can solve the current problems.
