Aims: Papers I & II: To evaluate the consequences of changes in the criteria for referral to an eye clinic following general pre-school vision screening. According to the former criteria all 4 year old children in the Göteborg area, with visual acuity (VA) 70%) of the children with slightly reduced vision at the age of 4 years had a visual acuity of 0.8 or better. Few had visual defects needing treatment and among those who were treated, the results were good. Papers III-V: Ophthalmologic abnormalities were common in children born before 29 gestational weeks. These children had a smaller optic disc area, neuroretinal rim area and more than normal tortuosity of retinal vessels. Reduced visual perception was observed in 40% of the children bo...
