Abstract

Survivors of preterm birth may present with various ocular conditions later in life. Long-term ophthalmic care in formerly preterm individuals is important as their vision may be compromised by sequelae of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), refractive errors, strabismus, and cerebral vision impairment. They are also at risk of developing cataracts, angle closure glaucoma, and retinal detachment later in life. A protocol for follow up of preterm children with and without ROP at different ages needs to be established.
