title: [Results of one-year observation of the visual system of premature infants].
abstract: 65 infants with gestational age 25-36 weeks and birth weight 800-2650 g were observed. Retinopathy of prematurity was found in 27 infants; in 9 eyes of 7 infants cryotherapy was applied. Examination at the age of 12 months evaluated: position and movements of the eye, refraction, visual acuity with preferential looking method, as well as anterior segment and fundus of the eye. Disturbances in eye position and movements were observed in 26 infants. Emmetropia was found in 16 eyes, 77 were hypermetropic and 27 myopic. The length of the eyeballs ranged from 14.6 to 22.5 mm. Visual acuity was determined in 39 infants, in 9 of them only binocular. It was 0.2 (normal) in 22 eyes, > in 2 and < in 36 eyes.
