Morphologic alterations in the central retina of premature children, evident in SD-OCT, are associated with long-term functional deficits in the rod and cone pathways, particularly evident in the rod dark adaptation course measured at 12° eccentricity. This indicates a more widespread retinal functional pathology not limited to the fovea, but occurring together with foveal alterations best defined as MDA.
