Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine if visuocortical development in premature infants with high bilirubin levels is more adversely affected than that in full-term infants. STUDY DESIGN: 57 preterm infants were managed using institutional guidelines for hyperbilirubinemia. At 12-months corrected age, Vernier acuity, contrast sensitivity, and grating acuity measured using the sweep visual evoked potential (sVEP) were correlated to total serum/plasma bilirubin (TSB) levels in the first week of life. RESULT: As TSB levels increased, Vernier acuity worsened in infants
