Extract
The purpose of this study is to determine if supplementation of calcium by the enteral route (gut feeding) to extremely low birth weight infants will lead to less myopia (nearsightedness) at 6-12 months postnatal age. Secondly, the study will determine if calcium supplementation is well tolerated, if it reduces the molding of these premature infants' heads, and if it decreases myopia at the 18-22 month postnatal age visit.
