  • #021 - Fighting for Sight: ROP Awareness Week Special
    Mar 1 2026

    In this special double episode of Beyond the Beeps, we're marking ROP Awareness Week with a full look at Retinopathy of Prematurity — from the medical side to the deeply human side. First, Dr. Faizah Bhatti walks us through what ROP is, its causes, risk factors, stages, and treatment options, while emphasizing why parental advocacy and regular follow-ups are so critical for premature infants. Then, Leah MG Jayanetti sits down with Tyronza Williams, who shares her emotional journey through the NICU with her daughter Alicia, born at just 23 weeks. Tyronza opens up about Alicia's ROP diagnosis, the treatments she underwent, and what it truly means to advocate for your child when everything feels uncertain. Together, these conversations capture both the science and the resilience behind one of the most common challenges facing premature babies.
