Although individual behaviors have not been proven to have a strong influence on the risk of
preterm birth, consistent evidence suggests that a constellation of favorable lifestyle factors …

The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) continues to rise due to the improved
survival of very low birth weight infants in developed countries. This epidemic is also fueled …

Importance Children born prematurely who develop retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) often
develop myopia, and those who require laser treatment may develop very high myopia …

This review aims to disentangle cause and effect in the relationship between anisometropia
