| dc.description | Myopia is a refractive defect that prevents the proper focusing of objects over long distances. It usually occurs at an early age and is usually detected at school. When we speak of strong or magna myopia, we mean when the visual acuity is seriously affected, ie the refractive defect exceeds 6 dioptres and this is produced by an excessive elongation of the eyeball, This means that its anteroposterior axis is greater than 26 mm and may present other symptoms such as astigmatism. It is advisable to perform timely optometric check-ups to identify the progress and severity of this refractive defect and thus provide treatments to provide the patient with the best alternative to preserve acuity visual. It is the duty of the professional optometrist to provide the necessary treatment and care in this situation. We know that there is no cure for myopia magna, but through treatments we can improve the visual quality of the patient so that he can have a better quality of life. In the present case study we have a female patient with 10 years of age who presents magna myopia, which has progressed in recent months. His last visual check was 6 months ago, but he already had discomfort and difficulty observing the blackboard with those lenses. The optometric visual check revealed that in addition to presenting with myopia, the girl also has astigmatism. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La miopía es un defecto refractivo que impide enfocar de manera adecuada los objetos que se encuentran a largas distancias. Esta suele presentarse a temprana edad y se detecta por lo general en la etapa escolar. Cuando hablamos de miopías fuertes o magnas, nos referimos a cuando la agudeza visual es seriamente afectada, es decir el defecto refractivo sobrepasa las 6 dioptrías y esta es producida por una elongación excesiva del globo ocular, es decir que su eje anteroposterior es mayor de 26 mm y puede presentar otros síntomas como astigmatismo. Lo recomendable es estos casos de miopía magna es realizar chequeos optométricos a tiempo los cuales permitan identificar el avance y gravedad de dicho defecto refractivo y de esta manera proveer tratamientos para brindar al paciente la mejor alternativa para preservar la agudeza visual. Es deber del profesional optómetra es brindar los tratamiento y cuidados necesarios ante esta situación. Sabemos que no existe una cura para la miopía magna, pero mediante tratamientos podemos mejorar la calidad visual del paciente y que así pueda tener una mejor calidad de vida. En el presente caso de estudio tenemos a una paciente de sexo femenino con 10 años que presenta miopía magna, la cual ha progresado en los últimos meses. Su último chequeo visual había sido hace 6 meses, pero ya presentaba molestias y dificultad para observar el pizarrón con esos lentes. En el chequeo visual optométrico se pudo detectar que además de presentar miopía magna la niña también presenta un astigmatismo. | es_ES |
