Key Points

Children born preterm, with or without retinopathy of prematurity, experience varied visual outcomes during late childhood.
The study highlights that current understanding of visual challenges in these children remains limited.
An upward review of childhood visual outcomes suggests a need for preventative interventions post-birth.
Improving awareness and early interventions may significantly enhance visual health for affected children.

Implication

Observational analysis assesses visual outcomes in preterm children, highlighting ROP's impact.

Abstract

Clinical relevance Late-childhood visual outcomes in children born preterm, with or without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), are not well understood, limiting the opportunities for preventative and early interventions.
