Background: This study aimed to investigate the refractive status and optical components of premature babies with or without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) at 7 years old and to explore the influence of prematurity and ROP on the refractive status and optical components. Methods: From January 2009 to February 2011, premature babies receiving fundus photographic screening (FPS) were recruited and divided into non-ROP group and ROP group. Full-term babies matched in age were recruited as controls. Auto-refractometer was employed to detect the corneal refractive power, corneal radius (CR) of curvature and corneal astigmatism, A-scan ultrasonography was performed to detect the anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous thickness (VITR) and ocular axial length (AL), and retinoscopy was done following cycloplegia with 1% cyclopentolate in these babies at 7 years old. These parameters were compared among groups, and the correlations of gestational age and birth weight with the refractive status and optical components were further evaluated. Results: Of 126 subjects, a total of 252 eyes were evaluated in this study, including 50 eyes of 25 subjects in ROP group (pre-threshold stage 1-3), 110 eyes of 55 subjects in non-ROP group and 92 eyes of 46 subjects in control group. The incidence of myopia was the highest in ROP group (9/50, 18%), followed by non-ROP group (11/110; 10%) and control group (6/92; 6.52%). The incidence of hyperopia was the highest in control group (21/92; 22.83%), followed by ROP group (8/50; 16%) and non-ROP group (10/110; 9.09%). The incidence of astigmatism was the highest in ROP group (18/50; 36%), followed by non-ROP group (25/110; 22.73%) and control group (12/92; 13.04%). The corneal astigmatism (-1.58, -1.11, -0.86 DC, P<0.01) and the mean degree of astigmatism (1.38, 1.17, 0.64 DC, P<0.05) in ROP group and non-ROP group were significantly higher than those in control group. The corneal refractive power in ROP group was more potent as compared to non- ROP group and control group (43.98, 43.16, 42.99 D, P<0.05); the corneal curvature in ROP group was significantly higher than that in non-ROP group and control group (7.87, 7.71, 7.67 mm, P<0.05); the ocular AL in ROP group and non-ROP group was significantly shorter than that in control group (2.41, 22.47, 22.78 mm, P<0.05). The LT in ROP group and non-ROP group was markedly thicker than that in control group (4.48, 4.45, 4.37 mm, P>0.05); the ACD in ROP group and non-ROP group was markedly deeper than in control group (3.16, 3.12, 3.21 mm, P>0.05). The gestational age was negatively related to corneal astigmatism (r=-0.208, P=0.013) and astigmatism (r=-0.226, P=0.004), but positively associated with ocular AL (r=0.252, P=0.005). The birth weight was negatively associated with corneal astigmatism (r=-0.30, P<0.001), astigmatism (r=-0.267, P=0.001), corneal refractive power (r=-0.255, P=0.001) and corneal curvature (r=0.242, P=0.001), but positively to ocular AL (r=0.243, P=0.001) and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) (r=0.151, P=0.028). Conclusions: (I) Premature babies with or without ROP are susceptible to myopia and astigmatism; (II) low birth weight, prematurity and ROP synergistically influence the development of refractive status and optical components, resulting in myopia and astigmatism; (III) premature babies with or without ROP have increased corneal curvature and LT, which are related to the higher incidence of myopia and astigmatism.
