Foveal Structure-Function Correlation in Children With History of Retinopathy of Prematurity

Patients with a history of ROP demonstrate a high frequency of macular morphologic abnormalities, including retention of inner retinal layers and absent foveal depression, on SD OCT. These structural changes do not always correlate to visual acuity. Instead it appears that cone maturation may be a better indicator of visual acuity. In addition, there is a significant correlation between best-corrected visual acuity and myopia.
