Children born weighing less than 1701 g: visual and cognitive outcomes at 11-14 years

Long-term follow-up of visual functions in prematurely born children—a prospective population-based study up to 10 years of age

“…However, 11 had developed strabismus at ten years, and 13 had some kind of school problem. This finding accords with Cooke et al 32 and Stephenson et al, 33 who reported a correlation between ophthalmologic impairments and perceptual and cognitive defects in prematurely born school children, even without major neurodevelopmental sequelae. Therefore, our definition of visual dysfunction at ten years seems to be fairly adequate for detecting children with various ophthalmologic and visual problems that may affect their everyday life.…”

Retinopathy of prematurity and neurodevelopmental disabilities in premature infants

“…Stephenson et al [22] conducted neuropsychological evaluation in 198 children with ROP at 11e14 years of age. Birth weight was <1701 g and GA was <32 weeks.…”

Accommodation and Convergence in 10-Year-Old Prematurely Born and Full-Term Children—A Population-Based Study

“…Recently, a few studies have indicated more learning problems at school among prematurely born children with adverse ophthalmic outcome. 4 Studies on typically developing children have found a higher prevalence of reduced accommodation and convergence in children with reading and writing disabilities. 5 There are only few studies published on accommodation and near-point convergence in prematurely born children.…”
