| dc.description | The present study focused on evaluating the relationship between ametropias (refractive defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism) and visual quality in Higher Basic Education students from the "Bahía de Caráquez" School. Conducted between June and September 2024, the main objective was to determine how these ocular defects affect the daily life of students and whether there is a direct relationship between ametropias and a decrease in visual quality. To this end, 77 students were evaluated, selecting a sample of 45 with ametropias diagnosed through optometric examinations. Visual acuity tests and a questionnaire were used to assess vision-related quality of life. The results revealed a high prevalence of ametropias in the sample, with astigmatism being the most common. Likewise, a correlation was observed between the presence of ametropias and a decrease in the visual quality of life reported by the students. These findings highlight the importance of conducting periodic visual assessments in the student population and of providing attention to refractive problems in order to improve their quality of life and academic performance. This study highlights the need to address the problem of ametropias in the school population, since these significantly affect visual quality and can impact the academic and personal development of students. The results obtained contribute to raising awareness about the importance of visual health and the need to implement early detection and treatment programs for refractive defects in educational environments. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El presente estudio se centró en evaluar la relación entre las ametropías (defectos refractivos como miopía, hipermetropía y astigmatismo) y la calidad visual en estudiantes de Educación Básica Superior de la Escuela "Bahía de Caráquez". Realizado entre junio y septiembre de 2024, el objetivo principal fue determinar cómo estos defectos oculares afectan la vida diaria de los estudiantes y si existe una relación directa entre las ametropías y una disminución en la calidad visual. Para ello, se evaluó a 77 estudiantes, seleccionando una muestra de 45 con ametropías diagnosticadas mediante exámenes optométricos. Se utilizaron pruebas de agudeza visual y un cuestionario para evaluar la calidad de vida relacionada con la visión. Los resultados revelaron una alta prevalencia de ametropías en la muestra, siendo el astigmatismo el más común. Asimismo, se observó una correlación entre la presencia de ametropías y una disminución en la calidad de vida visual reportada por los estudiantes. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de realizar evaluaciones visuales periódicas en la población estudiantil y de brindar atención a los problemas refractivos para mejorar su calidad de vida y rendimiento académico. Este estudio pone de manifiesto la necesidad de abordar la problemática de las ametropías en la población escolar, ya que estas afectan significativamente la calidad visual y pueden impactar en el desarrollo académico y personal de los estudiantes. Los resultados obtenidos contribuyen a generar conciencia sobre la importancia de la salud visual y a la necesidad de implementar programas de detección temprana y tratamiento de los defectos refractivos en entornos educativos. | es_ES |
