Refractive status and optical components of premature babies with or without retinopathy of prematurity at 7 years old.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate the refractive status and optical components of premature babies with or without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) at 7 years old and to explore the influence of prematurity and ROP on the refractive status and optical components.

Methods

From January 2009 to February 2011, premature babies receiving fundus photographic screening (FPS) were recruited and divided into non-ROP group and ROP group. Full-term babies matched in age were recruited as controls. Auto-refractometer was employed to detect the corneal refractive power, corneal radius (CR) of curvature and corneal astigmatism, A-scan ultrasonography was performed to detect the anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous thickness (VITR) and ocular axial length (A
