Study Title:
Myopia in premature babies with and without retinopathy of prematurity.
Study Abstract
One hundred and fifty-five premature infants weighing 600-2000 g were followed up during 1974-80 for the presence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and for the existence of myopia. 50% of the premature infants who had ROP were myopic, while only 16% myopic premature infants were found among those who did not have ROP. There was a positive correlation between the degree of myopia and the severity of cicatricial ROP. No difference existed in the frequency and degree of myopia between premature infants in which ROP cicatrised spontaneously and in those where it cicatrised after cryopexy.
