Universal ocular screening of 1021 term infants using wide‐field digital imaging in a single public hospital in <scp>I</scp>ndia – a pilot study

Abstract

Universal eye screening of all neonates using wide-field digital imaging is possible and safe. Extrapolating our results to the national scenario, we estimate that 226 950 infants requiring treatment would go undiagnosed annually. Universal infant eye imaging strategies must receive serious national consideration.
