| dc.description | In the present optometry clinical case, a 17-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of accommodative excess is presented. Accommodative excess manifests itself through a series of symptoms and visual discomfort that affects the patient's visual system. Its causes are varied, from inadequate visual habits, lack of visual rest, uncorrected - diagnosed ametropia. Among the characteristic symptoms we have eye fatigue, headache, blurred vision and difficulty focusing in both distance and near vision. A complete visual evaluation was applied and visual acuity tests, Cover test, PPC, fundus, and biomicroscopy were applied. The final diagnosis was pseudomyopia caused by incorrect lens prescription and constant use of electronic equipment. This is due to excessive stimulation of ocular accommodation mechanisms. Excessive use of electronic equipment can cause alterations in vision, generating problems such as pseudomyopia and eye fatigue, which causes discomfort when carrying out activities such as reading or computer work. Among the main refractive errors that we find in the community are myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, however, when a patient presents cumulative excess and is not properly diagnosed, they can be confused with any of the aforementioned ametropias. This, instead of improving the patient's visual health, will generate discomfort and more discomfort. This case demonstrates the importance of implementing additional testing to rule out other problems such as accommodative excess. The vision therapy alternative is recommended to prevent eye fatigue. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | En el presente caso clínico de optometría se presenta paciente masculino de 17 años de edad con un diagnóstico de exceso acomodativo. El exceso acomodativo se manifiesta a través de una serie de síntomas y molestias visuales que afectan al sistema visual del paciente. Sus causas son variadas, desde hábitos visuales inadecuados, falta de descanso visual, ametropías no corregidas - diagnosticadas. Entre los síntomas característicos tenemos fatiga ocular, dolor de cabeza, visión borrosa y dificultad para enfoque tanto en visión lejana como cercana. Se aplicó una evaluación visual completa y se aplicaron pruebas de agudeza visual, Cover test, PPC, fondo de ojo, biomicroscopia. El diagnóstico definitivo fue pseudomiopía causada por una prescripción incorrecta de lentes y un uso constante de equipos electrónicos. Esto se debe a una estimulación excesiva de los mecanismos de acomodación ocular. El uso excesivo de equipos electrónicos puede causar alteraciones en la visión, generando problemas como la pseudomiopía y fatiga ocular, esto genera molestias al realizar actividades como lectura o trabajos en computadora. Entre los principales defectos refractivos que encontramos en la comunidad son la miopía, hipermetropía y astigmatismo, sin embargo, cuando un paciente presenta exceso acumulativo y no es diagnosticado de manera adecuada pueden ser confundidas con alguna de las ametropías antes mencionadas. Esto en lugar de mejorar la salud visual del paciente generará incomodidad y más molestias. Este caso demuestra la importancia de implementar pruebas adicionales para descartar otros problemas como el exceso acomodativo. La alternativa de terapia visual es la recomendada para prevenir la fatiga ocular. | es_ES |
