The famous singer, Stevie Wonder, was blinded by too much oxygen as a premie. The risk of blindness is probably why the practice of giving high doses of oxygen to premies was discontinued.
The high oxygen didn’t help every premie. My own brother died despite a high oxygen environment. I never got to meet him.
