“…Kuiper et al demonstrated that,children obtained through Invitro-fertilization(IVF) with controlled ovarian stimulation protocols were more likely to wear eyeglasses at the age of 11 years when compared to the control group. Several studies also stated that children born through IVF, compared to the general population,with similar risk of visual disturbancescan be due to certain factors like maternal age,parity, smokingstatus, nutritional status,etc [8,9]. Also,it was stated that preterm infants are at risk of Retinopathy of prematurity(ROP),reduced visual acuity,refractive errors,strabismus, and amblyopia [9,10].…”

Assisted reproductive technology is used worldwide to achieve pregnancy for millions of childless couples and help them to give birth to a healthy baby of their own. Many ocular changes and undesirable effects of the techniques used in this procedure were seen in mothers and infants. There is much evidence on the ocular anomalies reported in children born through ART. Studies stated reduced visual acuity, anisometropia, and other ocular manifestations which occur early during the embryogenesis process or it may be related to the risk factors which influenced the development of child during these pregnancies. This review highlights the ocular changes seen in children born through Assisted Reproductive Technologies.

“…Thus, the fetus is vulnerable to develop eye abnormalities. This theory was tested in a prospective study, which showed that children obtained through IVF with controlled ovarian stimulation protocols were more likely to require eyeglasses at 11 years old compared to the control group (23% versus 11%) [ 26 ]. The need for ovarian stimulation to achieve a pregnancy demonstrates that certain parental characteristics that contributed to infertility may influence the prognosis of these pregnancies.…”

Due to the increasing rate of couples suffering from infertility, recently, the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has increased by 5%–10% per year. Some ART pregnancies are at risk of obstetric and neonatal complications, but it is unknown whether the procedures used or the etiology of infertility influences this risk. Multiple ART pregnancies are responsible for the increased rate of prematurity and its associated complications. Also, it has been demonstrated that ART pregnancies have a higher risk of congenital anomalies. The rate of ART-associated ocular abnormalities is incompletely known due to a small number of studies conducted regarding this pathology. In this paper, we presented a review of literature on ocular anomalies associated with ART in order to raise awareness of the need to implement ophthalmological screening in children from pregnancies obtained by ART. Abbreviations: ART = assisted reproductive techniques, IVF = in vitro fertilization, ICSI = intracytoplasmic sperm injection, LBW = low birth weight, ROP = retinopathy of prematurity
