S P Kelly, A R Fielder
PMCID: PMC1041119  PMID: 3828276

Abstract

Eight children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in whom the corneal diameters were abnormally small in one or both eyes are reported. The mechanisms for microcornea in ROP are discussed. The differential diagnosis of microphthalmos is briefly considered.
