Abstract: Preterm birth refers to delivery within 37 weeks of pregnancy; newborns delivered within this time are called premature babies. Retinopathy of prematurity(ROP)is a type of retinal vascular dysplasia that occurs in premature and low-weight infants. It is the main cause of blindness in children globally. Infants with retinopathy of prematurity have a high risk of developing refractive errors. The underlying factors, which include gestational age, birth weight, refractive parameters, treatment methods, and early detection and intervention of ROP, are very important for the visual prognosis of children. We provide an introduction and summary of the factors that may affect the visual development and refractive status of infants with retinopathy of prematurity.

Key words: Refractive state, Retinopathy of prematurity, Factors, Myopia, Review
