What Is The Meaning Of Angioplasty Of Retina?

We are considering adopting a child from Russia. The eye doctor said that she had angioplasty of the retina- I am not sure what this means. I know she was born at 34 weeks and was premature. I am not sure if her eyes were effected or what this means. Thanks!

There is nothing like retinal angioplasty. It can be angiography. It is injecting dye iv and funndus photo graph y to see retinal blood vessel. You have not given the age of child. You have mentioned premature born baby.In that case many other def or mity can be expected. You should adopt the child and latter investigate for any problem. Leave it on GOD.
