Purpose: To evaluate the refractive outcome and strabismus at 5 years of age, in children operated for various types of non-syndromic craniosynostosis, and further analyse the refractive and strabismic development over time.

Methods: Eighty-nine children, who had undergone operations for non-syndromic craniosynostosis, were examined at 5 years of age. These children also underwent ophthalmological examination preoperatively and up to 1 year after the operation.

Purpose: Very preterm birth increases risk for neonatal white matter injury, but there is limited data on to what extent this persists into adolescence and how this relates to ophthalmological outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess brain MRI findings in 12-year-old children born very preterm compared to controls and their association with concurrent ophthalmological outcomes.

Methods: We included 47 children born very preterm and 22 full-term controls (gestational age <32 and >37 weeks, respectively).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate various aspects of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Sweden over the past 14 years, nationally and at a hospital level.

Methods: Data on screening and treatment for ROP in infants born in Sweden from 2008 to 2021 were extracted from the national ROP register, SWEDROP. During this period, Swedish screening guidelines were reduced from gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks to <31 weeks in 2012 and to <30 weeks in 2020.
