Visual functions in late preterm infants mature progressively between birth and term equivalent age. These findings highlight the critical developmental period for visual abilities in these infants.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal development
  • Ophthalmology
  • Developmental pediatrics

Background:

  • Late preterm infants (34.0–36.9 weeks gestation) represent a significant population.
  • Understanding their visual development is crucial for early intervention.
  • Previous research has not fully elucidated the visual maturation trajectory in this specific group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the developmental trajectory of visual functions in low-risk late preterm infants.
  • To compare visual development in late preterm infants with term-born infants.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 80 low-risk late preterm infants was studied.
  • Visual assessments were conducted at birth and term equivalent age (TEA).
  • A standardized visual assessment battery was employed, with comparisons to term-born infant data.

Main Results:

  • Some visual functions showed similar performance at birth and TEA.
  • Other functions, including tracking and discrimination, demonstrated significant maturation by TEA.
  • Late preterm infants at TEA exhibited more mature visual attention and discrimination abilities than term-born infants at 48 hours.

Conclusions:

  • Visual functions in late preterm infants undergo progressive maturation from birth to TEA.
  • The period between birth and term equivalent age is critical for developing visual abilities.
  • Late preterm infants may exhibit advanced visual skills in certain areas compared to their term-born peers.
