The parents of the premature babies should be informed of the possible risks of refractive disorders and ocular alignment abnormalities.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Purpose: We investigated refraction and strabismus in laser treated and non-treated preterm infants at 1 year.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Materials and Methods: Premature infants with a birth weight 0.05); hyperopia %26,9 and %87,5 versus %60 (p 0.05); and strabismus %15,4 and %16,7 versus %26,7 (p>0.05). (Fig 1) Conclusion: We recorded higher rates of hiperopia in preterm infants (p<0.05) and the risk of developing this disorder decreased signifi cantly with ROP laser treatment.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The parents of the premature babies should be informed of the possible risks of refractive disorders and ocular alignment abnormalities.

Purpose: We investigated refraction and strabismus in laser treated and non-treated preterm infants at 1 year. Materials and Methods: Premature infants with a birth weight 0.05); hyperopia %26,9 and %87,5 versus %60 (p 0.05); and strabismus %15,4 and %16,7 versus %26,7 (p>0.05). (Fig 1) Conclusion: We recorded higher rates of hiperopia in preterm infants (p<0.05) and the risk of developing this disorder decreased signifi cantly with ROP laser treatment. Myopia, astigmatism and strabismus rates were not different between three groups. The parents of the premature babies should be informed of the possible risks of refractive disorders and ocular alignment abnormalities.
