Evaluation of Visual - Motor Development in Children With Retinopathy of Prematurity

Istanbul Medipol University Hospital69 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study was to investigate the eye structure, visual impairment, visual motor development and motor coordination of children between 2-6 ages that had applied to diod laser photocoagulation and intravitreal anti - vascular endothelial growth factor treatment.

There are three different groups in this study. Children between 2-6 ages that had applied to diod laser photocoagulation and intravitreal anti - vascular endothelial growth factor treatment will have evaluated with Snellen Test, Titmus Fly Test, Optical Kohlerans Tomography, Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-II, World Health Organization Quality of Life - BREF and State - Trait Anxiety Inventory.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual Motor Integration

Visual-motor integration (VMI) is "the degree to which visual perception and finger-hand movements are well coordinated" and will asses with Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration in this study. This test is a standardized, norm-referenced assessment involving copying geometric forms that is used to determine the level of integration between visual and motor systems in people of all ages. The Short Format and Full Format tests take about 10-15 minutes each to administer. Results are reported as standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents.

Time frame: 3 weeks

Visual Perception

Visual perception will asses with Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration in this study. This test is a standardized, norm-referenced assessment involving copying geometric forms that is used to determine the level of integration between visual and motor systems in people of all ages. Visual Perception test takes about 5 minutes. Results are reported as standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents.

Time frame: 3 weeks

Motor Coordination

Motor Coordination is coordination of finger movements and will asses by Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration in this study. This test is a standardized, norm-referenced assessment involving copying geometric forms that is used to determine the level of integration between visual and motor systems in people of all ages. Motor coordination test takes about 5 minutes. Results are reported as standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents.

Time frame: 3 weeks

Retinal Layers' Development

Development of retinal layers will assess with Optical coherence tomography (OCT). The OCT allows for in vivo, cross-sectional assessment of eye tissue, including the retina and its vasculature. By comparing the interference patterns of light that passes through live tissue to a reference arm, OCT provides high-resolution imaging of just a few microns of eye microanatomy.

Time frame: 3 weeks
