Background: Very premature infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) that do not develop ROP still experience serious visual developmental challenges, and while it is recommended that all children in the UK are offered preschool visual screening, we aimed to explore whether this vulnerable group requires dedicated follow-up.

Thirty healthy adults participated, and their head movements were recorded using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset and analyzed using Python.
