Evaluation of Ocular Biometric and Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters in Preterm Children Without Retinopathy of Prematurity

Purpose: To evaluate and compare biometric and optical coherence tomography parameters of ocular structures in preterm children without retinopathy of prematurity with term children. Methods: A cross-sectional, comparative study was carried out from 2018 to 2019. In this study, 124 eyes of 62 preterm children were compared with 132 eyes of 66 term children aged between 7 and 9 years.
