Answer 1

$\boxed{ \huge{ \fcolorbox{pink}{yellow}{Answer}}}$

• Your child will need regular eye exams by a specialist as often as he recommends.

• If the doctor catches them early on, he can treat most of these conditions without any vision loss.

Answer 2

$\bold{\huge{\fbox{\color{blue} {ANSWER}}}}$

To make sure the eyes heal properly and that ROP hasn't returned, the ophthalmologist will schedule follow-up eye exams. These usually happen every 1–2 weeks. For scleral buckling, the ophthalmologist must examine the buckle every 6 months to account for a child's growing eye.
