Resumen
La miopía es la ametropía más común que se da entre los escolares a partir de los 6 años de edad. Se caracteriza por la pérdida de la visión lejana que impide que el niño pueda ver la pizarra, tomar apuntes, tiene que acercar los libros o cuadernos para escribir. Esto se debe a un alargamiento del ojo o mayor curvatura de la córnea, en comparación al de un ojo emétrope. Generalmente es hereditaria, existe un 60 % de posibilidad de que un niño presente miopía, sin ambos padres la tienen, de allí la importancia que estos niños se hagan exámenes de forma periódica. El trabajo realizado en la Escuela particular mixta # 912 “Rincón de Luz” descubrió; mediante el examen de agudeza visual; que hay 33 niños miopes de entre 6 a 12 años de una población de 283 en el que 185 eran emétropes, lo que implica que la incidencia de ametropías a nivel general continua siendo bajo, de allí la importancia de educar a la población; mediante trípticos; sobre los defectos refractivos que comúnmente afectan a los niños. Además se comprobó que la Rx final más recetada fue de -0.25 dioptrías en el 30 % de niños, lo que indica que la agudeza visual no ha disminuido aún de manera grave; de aquí la importancia del diagnóstico oportuno y periódico que permita determinar la medida adecuada de los lentes oftálmicos como forma de tratamiento.
age of 6 years. It is characterized by the loss of distant vision that prevents the child from seeing the blackboard, taking notes, have to bring books or notebooks to write. This is due to an elongation of the eye or greater curvature of the cornea, compared to that of an emetrope eye. It is usually hereditary, there is a 60% chance that a child present myopia, without both parents have it, hence the importance of these children to be tested periodically. The work done in Mixed Private School # 912 "Corner of Light" discovered; By examining visual acuity; That there are 33 myopic children between the ages of 6 and 12 of a population of 283 in which 185 were emetropes, implying that the incidence of ametropias in general remains low, hence the importance of educating the population; Through triptychs; About the refractive defects that commonly affect children. In addition, it was verified that the final most prescribed Rx was -0.25 diopters in 30% of children, indicating that visual acuity has not yet diminished severely; hence the importance of timely and periodic diagnosis to determine the adequate measure of ophthalmic lenses as a form of treatment
