A Population-Based Study of the Refractive Outcome in 10-Year-Old Preterm and Full-Term Children

To evaluate the refractive outcome in 10-year-old prematurely born children and in full-term control children.Retinoscopy during cycloplegia was performed in 213 prematurely born children from a previous population-based study on the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity and in 217 children born at term. The spherical equivalent, astigmatism, anisometropia, and significant refractive errors (defined as hypermetropia >3 diopters [D], myopia <...
