| dc.description | Diabetes mellitus is a long-term (chronic) disease in which the body cannot regulate the amount of sugar in the blood, leading to hyperglycemia. This disease is the main cause of many microvascular complications and ocular conditions that can lead to blindness as a result. In the course of this disease, the patient may lose his visual acuity, this being impossible to recover since its effects cause irreversible damage. Their vision is affected by the evolution they have over the years and their respective general and ophthalmological controls. The objective of this clinical case is to determine the cause of the progressive loss of visual acuity with the respective optometric assessment tests, which is the measurement of visual acuity from a distance (6 meters away) and from near (35 to 40 centimeters). As he did not show improvement in VA, he was referred to the ophthalmologist after the ophthalmological evaluation. The diagnosis of this clinical case is diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema and cataract, for which an annual consultation with the ophthalmologist and the optometrist is essential. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La diabetes mellitus es una enfermedad prolongada (crónica) en la cual el cuerpo no puede regular la cantidad de azúcar en la sangre produciendo una hiperglucemia. Esta enfermedad es la causante principal de muchas complicaciones microvasculares y afecciones oculares que como resultado pueden llegar a una ceguera. En el transcurso de esta enfermedad el paciente puede ir perdiendo su agudeza visual siendo esta imposible de recuperar ya que sus efectos causan daños irreversibles. Su visión se ve afecta por la evolución que vaya teniendo con los años y sus respectivos controles generales y oftalmológicos. El objetivo de este caso clínico es determinar la causa de la pérdida progresiva de la agudeza visual con los respectivos exámenes de valoración optométrica que es la toma de la agudeza visual de lejos (6 metros de distancia) y de cerca (35 a 40 centímetros). Al no mostrar mejoría de la AV fue remitido al oftalmólogo luego de la valoración oftalmológica el diagnóstico de este caso clínico es retinopatía diabética, edema macular diabético y catarata, por lo que resulta indispensable una consulta anual con el oftalmólogo y el optometrista. | es_ES |
