Currently, no standard guidelines are available toward the provision of ophthalmic follow up care for preterm infants. For most preterm children born in Taiwan, between the time of discharge from the neonatal unit until national screening at 6-7 years of age (receiving education in elementary school), there is no routine ophthalmic surveillance. Due to the concern of life's activities and qualities of these children, it is important to survey the prevalence of different ophthalmic sequelae in Taiwan, to identify the risk factors of developing these sequelae, and, furthermore, to build up a screening program. The preterm population has heterogeneous conditions to developing ophthalmic sequelae. To use limited health service resources efficiently, it would be helpful to identify those who are at high risk of developing ophthalmic sequelae. National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), as one of the largest tertiary medical centers in northern Taiwan, is now in charge of a big part of intense care for these low birth weight preterm neonates. With detailed medical record done of these children during care in the neonatal unit, we are competence for this meaningful program.
