Ocular geometry in adults born extremely, very and moderately preterm with and without retinopathy of prematurity: results from the Gutenberg Prematurity Eye Study

Achim Fiess et al.

Summary: This study examines the association between anterior segment anatomy, axial length, and prematurity and perinatal factors in adults. The findings suggest that gestational age and birth weight percentile are correlated with corneal radius and white-to-white distance. Retinopathy of prematurity occurrence and treatment are associated with smaller white-to-white distance and shallow anterior chamber depth. Lower gestational age and pre-eclampsia are linked to decreased axial length. These results highlight the lifelong effects of perinatal factors on ocular shape.

Association of birth weight with corneal aberrations in adulthood-Results from a population-based study

Achim Fiess et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the long-term effect of low birth weight on corneal aberrations in adulthood. The results indicated that low birth weight is associated with increased spherical aberration, which may affect optical image quality and visual function.

The role of preterm birth, retinopathy of prematurity and perinatal factors on corneal aberrations in adulthood: Results from the Gutenberg prematurity eye study

Achim Fiess et al.

Summary: Prematurity and perinatal factors, such as low birth weight percentile and ROP treatment, are associated with corneal aberrations in adulthood, leading to a more irregular corneal shape and reduced optical image quality.

Association of Birth Weight with Central and Peripheral Corneal Thickness in Adulthood-Results from the Population-Based German Gutenberg Health Study

Achim Fiess et al.

Summary: The study showed that low birth weight is associated with thinner corneal thickness in adulthood, particularly in the center of the cornea. This suggests that there may be fetal origins influencing corneal thickness development, which diminishes towards the periphery. The findings provide evidence of a potential long-term impact of low birth weight on ocular health.
