Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity is one of the most important causes of blindness and low vision in childhood. In premature-born individuals, as well as retinopathy of prematurity, cerebral-induced visual disturbances are frequent and may result in low vision and blindness. In premature-born infants and children with or without retinopathy of prematurity, long-term eye and visual disturbances are more common than the term-born ones. Among these; myopia, refraction errors, strabismus, amblyopia, glaucoma, cataract, late retinal detachments, sensory and perceptual dysfunction, visual field defects, and cerebral visual disturbances can be seen. For this reason, life-long follow-ups of preterm born individuals are so important in terms of functional vision in the longterm.
