Comparative study of visual dysfunctions in 6–10-year-old very preterm- and full-term-born children
International Ophthalmology Jun 21, 2018
Yassin SA, et al. - Researchers compared the visual dysfunction between very preterm-born (VPB) children with no retinopathy of prematurity (no-ROP) at 6–10 years of age and age- and sex-matched full-term-born controls. Compared to age-matched full-term controls, an increased risk of developing decreased BCVA at least in one eye and anisometropia was seen in VPB children with no-ROP. In VPB children, the incidence of myopia and hypermetropia was 16.7 and 40%, respectively and in full-term children, it was 10 and 23.3%, respectively.
