International expert recommendations published on eye screening in incontinentia pigmenti
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
An international expert meeting prepared joint recommendations for eye problems in incontinentia pigmenti. This disease can affect the retina and lead to vision loss. According to the experts, every baby diagnosed should have an early and detailed eye examination. If possible, wide-angle imaging with dye should be performed. Treatment focuses on making the new blood vessels regress.
What does it mean for patients and families?
If your baby has been given this diagnosis, ask for an early eye examination. If retinal problems are noticed early, the chance of successful treatment increases. Your eye doctor decides how often follow-up is needed.
