Ocular Findings in the Newborn Infant

Survey of retinal haemorrhages in neonatal thoroughbred foals

“…In a survey in 1983 (H. Frauenfelder, personal communication), 10·5 per cent of thoroughbred foals examined between 0 and 72 hours after birth were affected and 8 per cent of their eyes. The incidence in newborn babies varies from 2·6 per cent to 50 per cent (Chase and others 1950, von Barsewisch 1979, Egge and others 1981, Van Zundert and others 1986). Sezen (1971) showed that the later that human infants are examined, the lower the incidence of retinal haemorrhages, this decrease being due to the small size of many of the retinal haemorrhages and the speed at which they resolve.…”

Maturation of pattern vision in infants during the first six months.

“…Contrary to some reports, studies of newborn infants have shown that some degree of fixation and accommoda tion is present (Gesell et al, 1949;Pieper. 1949), that retinal hemorrhages are rare (Chase, Merritt, & Bellows, 1950), and that electrophysiological activity of the retina and visual cortex is elicited by-visual stimulation! (Ellingson, 1958;Horsten & WinkelmanJ 1960).…”

The Association of Retrolental Fibroplasia with Cerebral Diplegia

“…No evidence of retrolental fibroplasia has been found by the examination of large numbers of full-term infants (Griffiths, 1951;Chace, Merritt and Bellows, 1950) though occasional cases have been encountered (King, 1950;Cole, 1950). In a series of 238 cases of retrolental fibroplasia all weighed less than 5 lb.…”
