Why premature babies get bad eyesight

چکیده
Health[1] Health[1]Children [2]Prevention [3]The Body [4]The brain [5]Denmark [6]Videnskab.dk [7] Impaired vision in extremely premature babies is often caused by brain damage, new study shows. Infants born extremely prematurely are at increased risk of developing bad eyesight. Up to now, it has been assumed that the impaired vision was mainly due to damage to the infant’s retina, known as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). But now a study suggests that the cause in many cases is not to be found in the eyes, but in the brain. “To date, medical science has been labouring under the assumption that the cause of the impaired vision was primarily located in the retina. We’re showing that these children just as frequently suffer visual impairment due to a brain injury,” says specialist registrar Carina Slidsborg, of the Department of Ophthalmology at Glostrup Hospital, Denmark.
