Newborns with ocular abnormalities were referred for further evaluation and management, whereas those without abnormalities were reviewed after 3 months.Retinal hemorrhage was the most prevalent ocular abnormality, observed in 10.64% of newborns .Newborns with retinal hemorrhage were more likely to be born by normal vaginal delivery than by cesarean or forceps deliveries .
