The acuity card procedure was used to measure grating acuity in 17 infants with regressed Stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who had no lasting anatomic changes in the retina or optic nerve. Results were compared with those of 28 healthy preterm infants and 28 infants matched by birth weight and gestational age who did not have Stage 3 ROP. Infants in the ROP group showed delayed grating acuity development until 2 years of age. This difference among groups was significant at the 3-5- and 10-12-month test ages but not at the 0-1-, 8-9-, and 16-18-month test ages. Post hoc analyses indicated that the delay in acuity development shown by the ROP group was due to the poor acuity scores of the infants in that group who had central nervous system abnormalities of periventricular leukomalacia or severe (Grade III or IV) intraventricular hemorrhage. When the data of these infants were removed from the analysis, the ROP group showed acuity development similar to that of both the healthy preterm group and the group of infants with matched birth weights and gestational ages who did not have Stage 3 ROP.
