Axial Length and Anterior Segment Alterations in Former Preterm Infants and Full-Term Neonates Analyzed With Scheimpflug Imaging

Abstract: This study demonstrated altered axial length and anterior segment morphology in former preterm infants, especially in the first years of life. In addition, we observed that preterm infants seemed to catch up, so that the differences in ocular growth in terms of spherical equivalent, astigmatism, and axial length decreased within the first 8 years of life.

“…Others have hypothesised that differences for astigmatism between former preterm low BW infants and full-term infants diminish step by step in infancy until 8 years of age 20. This finding is in congruence to our study as we did not detect any association between BW and astigmatism, neither when analysing continuous data nor in the adjusted models.…”

“…Therefore, the absence of gestational age has to be seen as substantial confounder. It is well known that there is a correlation between prematurity and low visual acuity respective higher myopic refractive error 20. This should be considered when interpreting our results.…”
