Longitudinal assessment of intraocular pressure in premature infants

Abstract

The mean IOP of premature infants was 15.0 ± 1.1 mm Hg and IOP values decreased significantly up to 34 weeks PCA, indicating a decline trend approaching the term period.

Intraocular Pressure and Central Corneal Thickness in Premature Newborns: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

“…13 Other research teams did longitudinal studies of IOP in premature newborns to follow its changes with their maturation. 2,[16][17][18][19][20][21] All of the studies showed a statistically significant (p<0.01) decline of IOP values with a negative correlation between the postconceptual age and birth weight of the infants. Only Choo et al did not find a statistically significant difference in IOP between premature and full-term newborns.…”
