“…In a survey in 1983 (H. Frauenfelder, personal communication), 10·5 per cent of thoroughbred foals examined between 0 and 72 hours after birth were affected and 8 per cent of their eyes. The incidence in newborn babies varies from 2·6 per cent to 50 per cent (Chase and others 1950, von Barsewisch 1979, Egge and others 1981, Van Zundert and others 1986). Sezen (1971) showed that the later that human infants are examined, the lower the incidence of retinal haemorrhages, this decrease being due to the small size of many of the retinal haemorrhages and the speed at which they resolve.…”

Twenty-seven of 167 neonatal thoroughbred foals (16 per cent) were found to have retinal haemorrhages after a careful examination of the entire fundus. Experience in differentiating haemorrhages from other lesions, and the selection of foals from normal populations, were considered to have an important effect on their apparent incidence. Bilateral haemorrhages were more common and there was a significantly higher incidence in female foals. The numbers of haemorrhages ranged between one and 20; 36 per cent of eyes with retinal haemorrhages had the small punctate type and 56 per cent had the splash-like form. There was no change from one type of haemorrhage to another, and the patterns of resolution were similar. The haemorrhages were in the tapetal fundus, except two that were recorded in the optic disc, and they resolved within 10 days. No short- or long-term ocular or neurological effects of the retinal haemorrhages were detected, and they were not related to the incidence of abnormal foal behaviour.

“…Contrary to some reports, studies of newborn infants have shown that some degree of fixation and accommoda tion is present (Gesell et al, 1949;Pieper. 1949), that retinal hemorrhages are rare (Chase, Merritt, & Bellows, 1950), and that electrophysiological activity of the retina and visual cortex is elicited by-visual stimulation! (Ellingson, 1958;Horsten & WinkelmanJ 1960).…”

“…No evidence of retrolental fibroplasia has been found by the examination of large numbers of full-term infants (Griffiths, 1951;Chace, Merritt and Bellows, 1950) though occasional cases have been encountered (King, 1950;Cole, 1950). In a series of 238 cases of retrolental fibroplasia all weighed less than 5 lb.…”
