You need to have a consultation with a pediatric neurologist or with a pediatric rehabilitation specialist with special interest in care of former premies. There are varying degrees of periventricular leukomalacia, and without seeing the head ultrasound or other imaging studies, you cannot give a reasonable opinion. Actually, even with these studies, it is often difficult to give a long term prognosis.
The sad, inescapable fact is, many such infants have cerebral palsy and visual problems. I hope your infant is one of the luckier ones.
