Visual acuity, amblyopia and refractive error in preterm children with and without retinopathy of prematurity – Results from the Gutenberg Prematurity Study Young (GPSY)
This study highlights that perinatal factors associated with prematurity affect visual acuity and refractive error as well as the development of amblyopia in children. Mainly, extreme prematurity ≤28 weeks as well as ROP and its treatment are the most important factors affecting visual development.
