Photoreceptor Function in School-Aged Children is Affected by Preterm Birth.

Åkerblom, Hanna ; Andréasson, Sten LU ; Larsson, Eva and Holmström, Gerd (2014) In Translational vision science & technology 3(6). p.7-7
Abstract
Prematurely born children have affected visual functions at school age. Optical coherent tomography (OCT) has shown morphological changes in the retina, suggesting a disturbance in normal retinal development in these children. The aim of this study was to examine retinal function with fullfield electroretinogram (ffERG) in school-aged children born prematurely and compare with children born at term. A second aim was to correlate retinal function with visual acuity (VA), gestational age (GA), birth weight, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
