The timing depends on how early your baby was born and the birth weight. Your paediatrician will advise the schedule; please book as soon as you are told screening is needed.
It is a short, standard examination. Drops are used to widen the pupils, and the baby may be unsettled briefly. The team explains each step to the parents.
Bring your baby's discharge summary or birth details if you have them, along with any earlier screening reports. This helps the team plan follow-up.
