The child’s vision is especially fast and actively developing in the first year of life. Almost blind as a kitten, an infant in just a few months acquires the ability to distinguish objects, color, monitor movements and analyze what he sees. With retinopathy, this does not happen, since the vessels and retina cease to normally develop. Depending on the stage of the disease, Petr Petrovich prescribes and performs operations on tiny patients, since there is a high risk of retinal detachment.
