Imprint of preterm birth with very low birth weight on optic disc <scp>OCT</scp> in adulthood—A two‐country birth cohort study
A moderate decrease of the optic disc neural rim and pRNFLT is frequently seen in clinically healthy adults born preterm with VLBW. Awareness of the VLBW-related optic disc nerve fibre shallowness especially in the inferior and nasal sectors is important while evaluating acquired optic disc pathology in adulthood.
