Abstract Objective: To study the development of the ocular biometry parameters and evaluate the relationship between axial length with gestational age and birth weight during 32 to 40 weeks of postnatal age. Methods: Premature infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity at Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University and Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University were included from March to December 2018. Infants were divided into groups based on age, gestational age (GA) <30 weeks and GA ≥30 weeks, and birth weight, birth weight (BW) <1 500 g and BW ≥1 500 g. They were examined between 32 to 40 weeks of postnatal age (PA). Anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous length (VL) and axial length (AL) were measured with an A-scan biometer. BW and GA were recorded. Pearson correlation analysis was used to study the relationship between refractive system parameters and GA. The independent-samples t test was used to compare the AL between the two groups. Results: A total of 1 385 readings were recorded from 496 infants. The ACD (r=0.384, P<0.001), LT (r=0.295, P<0.001), VL (r=0.723, P<0.001) and AL (r=0.782, P<0.001) were all positively correlated with PA. There were no statistically significant differences in AL in the two groups from 32 to 40 weeks of PA (P>0.05). The average AL differed significantly from 38 to 40 weeks of PA in the two groups based on birth weight (t=2.195, P=0.030; t=2.504, P=0.015; t=1.989, P=0.048). Conclusions: In the early postnatal period of premature infants, gestational age has little effect on AL, however infants with low birth weight have a shorter AL.
