Abstract
Normal anthropometric standards for eye measurements were established in newborn [human] infants born between 27 and 41 wk of gestation. In 198 term and preterm newborn infants, palpebral fissure size and inner and outer canthal distances were measured and the interpupillary distance was calculated. The mean and 2 SD from the mean for each gestational week was determined. Normal values are presented as intrauterine growth curves of these parameters for gesttional age.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
