Visual functions after perinatal macular haemorrhage

M Lowes, N Ehlers, I K Jensen

Acta Ophthalmologica

|April 1, 1976

Summary

Perinatal macular hemorrhage did not lead to amblyopia or strabismus in children. A 5-year follow-up study found no evidence of these vision impairments in affected infants.

Background:

Perinatal macular hemorrhage is a potential risk factor for visual impairments.
Amblyopia and strabismus are common conditions affecting visual development.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the long-term effects of perinatal macular hemorrhage on visual development.
To determine if perinatal macular hemorrhage causes organic amblyopia or strabismus.

Main Methods:

Follow-up examination of 39 children at age 5 who experienced perinatal macular hemorrhage.
Assessment of visual acuity, cycloplegic refraction, and binocular function (cover test, 4d-prism test).
Evaluation of fixation (ophthalmoscope) and sensory function (Schober test, Worth 4-dot-test).

Main Results:

No organic amblyopia was detected in the examined children.
No strabismus was observed in the study group.
The findings suggest a lack of correlation between perinatal macular hemorrhage and these specific visual impairments.

Conclusions:

Perinatal macular hemorrhage does not appear to be a cause of organic amblyopia.
Perinatal macular hemorrhage is not associated with the development of strabismus.
Further research may be needed to fully understand the visual outcomes in infants with perinatal macular hemorrhage.
