Abstract
Premature infants with very low birth weight (VLBW: < 1251 g) and/or gestational age lower than 32 weeks are at high risk of ocular abnormalities. Retinopathy is a well known complication of the neonatal period, but many abnormalities occur beyond the neonatal period, and must be carefully screened for years, mainly: cicatricial retinopathy, myopia, strabismus, glaucoma, retinal detachment and various functional visual impairements. Guidelines for the postneonatal sreening of these abnormalities are given.
