About this listen

We conclude our miniseries by tackling Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). This is the specific vision loss that I, your host, have. This condition affects infants born prematurely, where abnormal blood vessel growth can lead to retinal detachment. I discuss the unique challenges of having vision loss that is present from birth, the specific experience of detachment, and how ROP impacts the development of early mobility and spatial awareness from the very beginning.
