| dc.description | The presented clinical case is about a 48-year-old patient who was referred to optometry for post-surgical follow-up of pterygium in her left eye. Pterygium is an abnormal growth of conjunctival tissue over the cornea of the eye. Surgery to remove pterygium can cause temporary increased sensitivity to light due to inflammation and scarring that occurs in the eye after the operation. The patient reported sensitivity to all sources of light, or photophobia, a week after her recovery. As a treatment to improve her sensitivity, the use of blue-blocking photochromic lenses was prescribed, as it provides protection to the eye globe. Blue-blocking photochromic lenses are a good option to reduce photophobia as they can adapt to different lighting conditions and reduce the amount of light that reaches the eye. Additionally, blue-blocking technology can help reduce exposure to blue light, which may have long-term harmful effects on ocular health. It is important to note that follow-up and compliance with treatment are essential to achieve satisfactory results in the patient's visual health. Multiple medical appointments are required to evaluate the case's evolution and adjust treatment as necessary. After completing this process, satisfactory results were achieved, allowing for the improvement of the patient's visual health. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El caso clínico que se presenta se trata de una paciente de 48 años, que es referida a optometría para seguimiento post quirúrgico de pterigion en su ojo izquierdo. El pterigion, que es una proliferación anormal de tejido conjuntival sobre la córnea del ojo. La cirugía para extirpar el pterigion puede causar temporalmente una mayor sensibilidad a la luz debido a la inflamación y cicatrización que se produce en el ojo después de la operación. La paciente menciona que después de una semana de su recuperación presenta sensibilidad a toda fuente de luminosidad, es decir presenta fotofobia. Se prescribe como tratamiento para mejorar su sensibilidad el uso de lentes fotocromáticos protección blue block ya que va a brindar protección al globo ocular. Los lentes fotocromáticos con protección blue block son una buena opción para reducir la fotofobia, ya que pueden adaptarse a diferentes condiciones de luz y reducir la cantidad de luz que llega al ojo. Además, la protección blue block puede ayudar a reducir la exposición a la luz azul, que puede tener efectos nocivos en la salud ocular a largo plazo. Es importante destacar que el seguimiento y cumplimiento del tratamiento son fundamentales para lograr resultados satisfactorios en la salud visual de la paciente. Se requiere varias citas médicas para evaluar la evolución del caso y ajustar el tratamiento según sea necesario. Después de realizar todo esto se logra resultados satisfactorios, que permiten mejorar la salud visual de la paciente. | es_ES |
