Background: In order to improve the quality of life of newborns, it is
important to detect the earliest visual problems. This study aimed to determine
the refractive status in healthy term babies and to investigate whether there
is a correlation between refractive status and birth weight
Materials and Methods: Two hundred and three healthy full-term babies
at an age of postnatal 8 weeks were included in the study. In order to evaluate
refractive status handheld autorefractometer device was used in all subjects.
The types of refractive errors were analyzed both in right and left eyes
separately. Measurements taken under cycloplegic condition were analyzed for
spherical equivalent, astigmatism and anisometropia.
Results: Hypermetropia was found as the most common refractive error
among the participants (65% in right eyes, 62% in left eyes). With the rule
astigmatism is found to be the most common astigmatic pattern in both eyes (75%
in right eyes, 70% in left eyes). Anisometropia incidence was found to be 8%. No
correlation between refractive status and birth weight (p=0.105 r=-0.280)
Conclusion: Hypermetropia and with the rule astigmatism is the most
common refractive error in term babies and there is no relationship between
refractive status and birth weight in healthy infants born in term.

Amaç: Yenidoğanların yaşam kalitesini arttırmak için en erken
görsel problemleri tespit etmek önemlidir. Bu çalışmada sağlıklı term
bebeklerde refraktif durumun belirlenmesi ve refraktif durum ile doğum ağırlığı
arasında bir korelasyon olup olmadığı araştırıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya doğum sonrası 8
haftalık term doğan iki yüz üç sağlıklı bebek alındı. Kırılma durumunu
değerlendirmek için tüm olgularda el otorefraktometre cihazı kullanıldı.
Kırılma kusurları hem sağ hem de sol gözde ayrı ayrı analiz edildi. Sikloplejik
koşullar altında yapılan ölçümler, sferik eşdeğer, astigmatizma ve anizometropi
açısından analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Hipermetropi, katılımcılar
arasında en sık kırılma kusuru olarak saptadı(sağ gözlerde % 65, sol gözlerde %
62). Kurala uygun astigmatizma her iki gözde de en sık rastlanan astigmatik
patern tespit edildi (sağ gözlerde % 75, sol gözlerde % 70). Anizometri
insidansı% 8 olarak bulundu. Kırılma durumu ile doğum ağırlığı arasında
korelasyon bulunmadı (p = 0.105 r = -0.280).
Sonuç: Hipermetropi ve kurala uygun astigmatizma
term doğan sağlıklı türk bebeklerde en sık görülen kırma kusuru olup, bu
bebeklerde kırılma kusuru ile doğum ağırlığı arasında bir ilişki yoktur.
