Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye problems in the form of decreased vision and you give history of prematurity.
Prematurity can cause a eye condition called as retinopathy of prematurity. This condition can cause poor vision.
Hence you require examination by ophthalmologist for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
