随着早产儿存活率的提高，随之而来的眼科问题的长期护理是一个不断扩大的领域。早产会对发育中的眼部系统造成一系列挑战，导致不同意义和病理范围的视觉表现。与早产最常见的眼科疾病是早产儿视网膜病变，它有可能导致毁灭性的视力丧失。然而，屈光不正、斜视和脑视力障碍的发病率增加所导致的视力损害对视觉功能有显著影响，这也影响到其他发展方面，包括心理和教育。在这篇综述中，正常的眼发育进行了讨论，旨在探讨影响早期exteriorisation对一个更幼稚的器官早产。这与许多类型缺陷的发生率和视觉后果有关，包括早产儿人群中的屈光不正，斜视和视觉功能丧失，并与足月婴儿研究进行比较。通常，这些情况与因果关系和结果因素有关，无法分离，但所有类型的眼科缺陷的发生率增加的共同因素表明，早产儿确实是早产儿。
As survival of preterm infants improves, the long-term care of consequent ophthalmic problems is an expanding field. Preterm birth can inflict a host of challenges on the developing ocular system, resulting in the visual manifestations of varied significance and pathological scope. The ophthalmic condition most commonly associated with preterm birth is retinopathy of prematurity, which has the potential to result in devastating vision loss. However, the visual compromise from increased incidence of refractive errors, strabismus, and cerebral vision impairment has significant impact on visual function, which also has influence on other developmental aspects including psychological and educational. In this review, the normal ocular development is discussed, aiming to exemplify the impact of early exteriorisation on one of the more naive organs of prematurity. This is then related to the incidence and visual consequences of many types of deficit, including refractive error, strabismus, and loss of visual function in preterm populations, with comparisons to term infant studies. Often these conditions are linked with causal and resultant factors being impossible to segregate, but the common factor of increased rates of all types of ophthalmic deficits demonstrates that children born prematurely are indeed premature for life.
