Retinal dystrophies simulating geographic atrophy: A diagnostic challenge
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Geographic atrophy (GA) is the chronic loss of retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptors and choriocapillaris, marking the dry late stage of age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). GA prevalence is expected to rise in the upcoming decades. Advanced GA leads to central scotomas, reducing visual acuity and quality of life, potentially resulting

The utility of three predictors of childhood myopia: a Bayesian analysis
Vision Research, 1995 Any treatment to prevent the onset of juvenile myopia will require predictive tests in order to determine which children should receive treatment. Three risk factors for myopia were evaluated for their ability to predict myopia: (a) refraction at school entry; (b) refraction in infancy; and (c) parental history of myopia.

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Dexamethasone eye drops are being introduced off‐label to prevent progression of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We evaluated ophthalmologic outcomes in early childhood after postnatal topical dexamethasone exposure in pre‐term infants at a standardized follow‐up examination.

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of myopia and factors associated with the increase of myopia prevalence in Finland between two generations and discuss the reasons why myopia has not increased similarly as in many Asian countries. Methods A questionnaire assessing factors potentially related to myopia was sent

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To investigate the longitudinal development of refraction and strabismus in a national cohort of children born extremely preterm (EPT) and find relations to perinatal events and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Methods All surviving children born <27‐gestation weeks in Sweden during April 2004–March 2007, and full‐term born matched ...

Myopia Progression in Low Birth Weight Infants: A Narrative Review
Journal of Pediatrics Review, 2020 Context: Low birth weight infants are prone to an altered ocular development in childhood, resulting in refractive errors of the eye. Myopia (short-sightedness) is the most common refractive error of the eye that reduces vision.
