Abstract

The incidence of myopic ametropia in preterm infants was significantly higher than that in full-term infants. In infants and children, high myopia incidence and severe myopia often lead to visual impairment, and may even cause amblyopia. Therefore, it is particularly important to pay attention to the long-term refractive prognosis of this group and ensure their long-term life and learning quality. This paper reviews the current situation, causes and influencing factors of myopic ametropia in preterm infants, in order to provide references for the evaluation of refractive status and myopia prevention and control policies of preterm infants.

Key words
