Why should newborns have their fundus examined?

The main purpose of fundus screening in newborns is to detect retinopathy at an early stage. In addition to detecting retinopathy in preterm infants, low birth weight infants, and newborns with pneumonia, fundus screening can also screen for other neonatal retinopathy, such as congenital retinodysplasia, and early detection** can reduce the rate of blindness.

It is recommended that all neonates should be screened for fundus to detect retinopathy in a timely manner. Neonates with a history of preterm birth, dystocia, cesarean section, or postnatal oxygen should be screened from the fourth week of birth or 32 weeks' corrected gestational age, with an indirect ophthalmoscope or fundus digital camera examining the fundus, and regular follow-up. If the lesion is found, it should be done as soon as possible** so as not to affect future vision.

Newborns do not need to have a fundus examination, and if the newborn does not show abnormalities, the newborn's eyes are not yet mature at this time, so there is no need for a fundus examination.
