PURPOSE To study the refractive outcome in preterm infants with and without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a tertiary care hospital in North India. METHODS This prospective study was conducted on 300 consecutive premature infants with a birth weight of 2 kg or less and a gestational age of 34 weeks or less at birth. The infants were divided into three groups (no ROP, spontaneously regressed ROP, and laser-treated ROP) and were followed up at 1 year of age to assess the presence and type of refractive error in each group. RESULTS The refractive error data were available for 277 neonates (554 eyes). On cycloplegic retinoscopy at 1 year of follow-up, the incidence of myopia was 12.29%, 29.55%, and 48.83% in all three groups, respectively, being most common in the laser-treated group, and the values were statistically significant (P < .05). Moreover, high myopia was most prevalent in the laser-treated group (23.25%). A correlation between birth weight and gestational age with spherical equivalent showed that a low birth weight and a low gestational age are more commonly found in infants with a more negative spherical equivalent. CONCLUSIONS Infants with laser-treated ROP have a higher incidence of myopia than those with spontaneously regressed ROP or no ROP. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2022;59(3):151-155.].

三级护理医院 1 年随访中早产儿屈光不正概况。

目的 研究印度北部一家三级医院中患有和不患有早产儿视网膜病变 (ROP) 的早产儿的屈光结果。方法 这项前瞻性研究是对 300 名出生体重不超过 2 公斤、出生时胎龄不超过 34 周的连续早产儿进行的。将婴儿分为三组（无 ROP、自发性 ROP 和激光治疗 ROP），并在 1 岁时进行随访，以评估每组中屈光不正的存在和类型。结果 可获得 277 名新生儿（554 只眼）的屈光不正数据。随访1年的睫状肌麻痹检影，三组近视发生率分别为12.29%、29.55%和48.83%，以激光治疗组最为常见，差异有统计学意义（P < .05)。此外，高度近视在激光治疗组中最为普遍（23.25%）。出生体重和胎龄与球形当量之间的相关性表明，低出生体重和低胎龄更常见于具有更负球形当量的婴儿。结论 激光治疗 ROP 婴儿的近视发生率高于 ROP 自发消退或无 ROP 的婴儿。[J 小儿眼科斜视。2022;59(3):151-155.]。结论 激光治疗 ROP 婴儿的近视发生率高于 ROP 自发消退或无 ROP 的婴儿。[J 小儿眼科斜视。2022;59(3):151-155.]。结论 激光治疗 ROP 婴儿的近视发生率高于 ROP 自发消退或无 ROP 的婴儿。[J 小儿眼科斜视。2022;59(3):151-155.]。
