Colour perception develops throughout childhood with increased risk of deficiencies in children born prematurely

Aim To quantify the impact of prematurity on chromatic discrimination throughout childhood, from 2 to 15 years of age. Methods We recruited two cohorts of children, as part of the TrackAI Project, an international project with seven different study sites: a control group of full‐term children with n...

Description
Summary:Aim To quantify the impact of prematurity on chromatic discrimination throughout childhood, from 2 to 15 years of age. Methods We recruited two cohorts of children, as part of the TrackAI Project, an international project with seven different study sites: a control group of full‐term children with normal visual development and a group of children born prematurely. All children underwent a complete ophthalmological exam and an assessment of colour discrimination along the three colour axes: deutan, protan and trytan using a DIVE device with eye tracking technology. Results We enrolled a total of 1872 children (928 females and 944 males) with a mean age of 6.64 years. Out of them, 374 were children born prematurely and 1498 were full‐term controls. Using data from all the children born at term, reference normative curves were plotted for colour discrimination in every colour axis. Pre‐term children presented worse colour discrimination than full‐term in the three colour axes (p
