Incidence of Strabismus in Children with Retinopathy of Prematurity

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to estimate the cumulative incidence of strabismus in children diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Their findings revealed that treated ROP patients had a significantly higher incidence of strabismus at 5 years (34.78%) compared to untreated patients (22.14%), with treatment exposure being independently associated with an increased risk. Additionally, the study identified amblyopia and nystagmus as other factors contributing to the heightened risk of developing strabismus in this population.
