Visual Function at 35 and 40 Weeks' Postmenstrual Age in Low-Risk Preterm Infants

Abstract

Our findings provide data for visual function at 35 and 40 weeks' postmenstrual age in low-risk preterm infants. The results suggest that early extrauterine experience may accelerate the maturation of aspects of visual function related to ocular stability and tracking but does not seem to affect other aspects that may be more cortically mediated.
