What are the Risks and Complications of Ophthalmoscopy in Neonates?
While ophthalmoscopy is generally safe, there are some potential risks and complications. The use of dilating drops can sometimes cause temporary side effects like increased light sensitivity and blurred vision. There is also a minimal risk of adverse reactions to the eye drops, although this is rare. It is essential to weigh these risks against the benefits of early detection and treatment of serious eye conditions.
