    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual functions in premature children, who had posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus surgery. The visual acuity, refractive error, strabismus, and evoked potentials of the optic nerve (VEP) were examined at the age 7 - 8 years of life. The normal visual acuity was found in 37.50% of children. The refractive error was found in 62.50% of patients. Hyperopia was found, and in the same percentage of cases the strabismus appeared. In all cases, the pathological VEP were found. CONCLUSION: From the results it is clear, that regular follow-up controls in premature children with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and compensation of their visual handicap are of necessity.
