Ocular fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in children prenatally exposed to opioid maintenance therapy (OMT)
This is the first study reporting OCT-data from children prenatally exposed to OMT. The significant thinning of the peripapillary RNFL in the OMT-exposed children most probably reflects a negative impact of the opioid substances on the foetal neurodevelopment. Further OCT-studies on OMT-exposed children should be carried out.
