Best-in-class Eye Care for People of All Ages
In the United States, about 380,000 babies are born
prematurely each year. Many premature babies grow up to
become healthy children and adults - you probably won't be
able to tell that they got an early start in life.
However, the eyes develop the most during the last three
months of pregnancy, so oftentimes premature babies are
at risk of being diagnosed with Retinopathy of Prematurity
(ROP). ROP is when abnormal blood vessels form in the retina
due to a disruption in normal blood vessel growth in the
womb.
One of our patients, Violet, was diagnosed with ROP after
being born 10 weeks premature. She spent the first eight
weeks of her life in the NICU at Carilion Roanoke Memorial
Hospital.
" It was during this stay in the NICU that we first met Dr.
Facciani, " said Katey Carr, Violet's mother. " Part of the
wonderful care we received in the NICU is that every
premature baby gets their eyes examined. " During Violet's
examination with Dr. Facciani, he found that Violet had
Retinopathy of Prematurity: stage 1 in one eye and stage 0 in
the other.
" Ever since then, we've been following up with Dr. Facciani
because of her vision, " said Katey. " We noticed around her
first birthday that she started to cross her eyes, and during
our next appointment with Dr. Facciani, he recommended that
she get glasses, " said Katey.

As Violet continued to develop and grow, Dr. Facciani and the
Vistar Eye Center team were with the Carr family each step of
the way. " We noticed she wasn't walking quite as well as she
should be, and she didn't learn to walk until nineteen months
old, " said Katey. " During our next visit with Dr. Facciani and his
team, he prescribed bifocals. "
Ever since Violet got her bifocals, " she has really taken off
running, playing, and walking, " said Katey. " She is 100%
toddler. "
Violet wears her purple bifocals every day, and she usually
asks to wear them because they help her experience the world
around her so much better.
We're glad that we could support Violet and her family from
day one so she can develop and grow with healthy vision. You
can trust the doctors at Vistar Eye Center to provide lifechanging
outcomes so you and your children can experience
all of life's special moments in focus.
