Abstract
Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus | ABSTRACTThe goal of the present study was to determine whether dietary supply of ω-3 essential fatty acid (EFA) influences visual development in healthy pre-term and full-term infants. Visual status was examined in human milk-fed infants (ample dietary ω-3 EFA supply) and corn oil-based formula-fed infants (no dietary ω-3 EFA; standard formula prior to 1987). At 57 weeks postconception (4 monthsKeywords
