Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. On the same topic of vision, a recent study argues that preemies are also more susceptible to astigmatism and myopia, whether they have retinopathy or not[0]. As a preemie myself (born 28 weeks), I have a feeling that even though there has been much work on the immediate effects of prematurity, the long-term consequences of being born prematurely have, on the contrary, been severely understudied. And let's not even mention the causes themselves -- even though some effects or behaviours from the mother may increase the chances of giving birth prematurely (smoking, stress), nothing seems to be absolutely set in stone, at least as far as I know.
