Ocular Hypertension in Adults with a History of Prematurity

Patients with a history of extreme prematurity are at an increased risk of OHT and glaucoma, even if they did not receive acute ROP treatment. More severe acute ROP is associated with higher incidence of OHT, and this is associated with an increased incidence of incisional surgical intervention. Awareness of the increased lifelong risk of adverse ocular sequelae in patients with a history of prematurity will help guide appropriate monitoring.
