| dc.description | The World Health Organization estimates that 40% of the world's population has astigmatism (WHO, 2019) and more than half of the population has some type of ametropia, due to excessive use of electronic devices. Ametropias are refractive problems that do not allow light to focus correctly on the retina, causing blurring or distortion at far and near distances. Astigmatism is one of the conditions that is part of this group. The present case involves a 16-year-old female patient with astigmatism, the index patient who experienced the following symptoms: Headache, Blurred and distorted vision, Double vision, Fatigue, Visual fatigue. According to the clinical picture, the refractive status of the eyeball is examined and the binocular visual acuity of 20/60 is calculated. The optometric tests performed are: Distance and near visual acuity with and without correction, pupillary reflexes, ocular motility, objective and subjective refraction, among other tests necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Once verified, various corrective treatment options were proposed, according to the patient's need and preference, the treatment selected was the use of conventional single field of vision lenses with Photochromic blue block protection with the prescription obtained. The patient's response was favorable, achieving optimal visual acuity of 20/20. As a recommendation, the importance of attending regular visual controls is suggested. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La organización mundial de la salud estima que el 40% de la población mundial presenta astigmatismo (OMS, 2019) y más de la mitad de la población presenta algún tipo de ametropía, debido al uso excesivo de aparatos electrónicos. Las ametropías son problemas refractivos que no permiten que la luz enfoque de manera correcta en la retina, provocando borrosidad o distorsión a distancias lejanas como cercanas. El astigmatismo es una de las afecciones que forma parte de este grupo. El presente caso trata de una paciente femenina de 16 años de edad que presenta astigmatismo, el paciente indico que experimento los siguientes síntomas: Cefalea, Visión borrosa y distorsionada, Visión doble, Fatiga, Cansancio visual. De acuerdo al cuadro clínico, se examinó el estado refractivo del globo ocular y se determinó la agudeza visual binocular de 20/60. Las pruebas optométricas realizadas son: Agudeza visual de lejos y de cerca con corrección y sin corrección, Reflejos pupilares, Motilidad ocular, Refracción objetiva y subjetiva, entre otras pruebas necesarias para la confirmar el diagnóstico. Una vez verificado se propuso diversas opciones de tratamiento correctivo, de acuerdo a la necesidad y preferencia del paciente, el tratamiento seleccionado fue el uso lentes convencionales de un solo campo de visión con protección Fotocromático blue block con la prescripción obtenida. La respuesta del paciente fue favorable, logrando una agudeza visual optima 20/20. Como recomendación se le sugirió la importancia de asistir a los controles visuales regulares. | es_ES |
