Visual function in preterm infants without major retinopathy of prematurity or neurological complications.

Objective: Early exposure of preterm infants to visual stimulation could affect the process of visual maturation. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of prematurity on visual function at 15 months post-term.

Subjects And Methods: Visual function was assessed in 102 preterm (PTI) and 50 full-term infants (FTI) without major cerebral pathology or retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) of grade 2 to 5, at 15 months' corrected age.
