Visual acuity and maturation in children from Tres Ombúes neighborhood, schools 276, 148 and Monserrat; years 2008, 2009 and 2010, Montevideo, Uruguay

Abstract: Undiagnosed visual problems are frequent in school age children. A record of visual acuity not reaching the unit may correspond to a morbid fact or to a particular moment in the development of the child's sight. So, it is interesting to know the age when the maturation of the visual p...

description Abstract: Undiagnosed visual problems are frequent in school age children. A record of visual acuity not reaching the unit may correspond to a morbid fact or to a particular moment in the development of the child's sight. So, it is interesting to know the age when the maturation of the visual process usually finishes. This work describes these facts in a population of school age children. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of visual acuity and maturation in children from schools 276, 148 and Montserrat, in Tres Ombúes neighborhood, years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Material and Methods: Cross sectional descriptive study of 2088 records of VA (separate eyes) corresponding to 1045 children between 5 and 14 years old. Records were taken using Snellen chart at 5 meters and were distributed according to age and VA reached.  Results: From the 2088 visual records that were analyzed, 76% presented VA 10/10 and 24% presented a lower record. When comparing according to age, we observe that the prevalence of the record VA 10/10 increases up to age 7 reaching 86% and remains between 78 and 87% up to age 14. Conclusions: We can observe that up to age 7, the number of eyes reaching the record 10/10 increases, so we can confirm the hypothesis that children complete the process of visual development and at that age. We find an important number of visual records which do not reach VA 10/10 even after the age when children have usually completed VA development. Recommendations: Carry out systematic VA control of pre-school age children and provide feedback to children's relatives and teachers.

Los registros se realizaron con cartel  Snellen a 5 metros y fueron distribuidos según edad  y AV alcanzada.Resultados: De los 2088  registros visuales  analizados, el 76%  presenta  AV 10/10 y el  24% presenta un registro menor. Al comparar por edad, se observa que la prevalencia del registro AV 10/10 aumenta hasta los 7 años llegando al 86% y se mantiene entre un 78 y un 87% hasta los 14 años.Conclusiones: Se puede observar que hasta los 7 años crece el número de ojos que  alcanzan el registro 10/10 afirmando la hipótesis de que los niños culminan el proceso de desarrollo y maduración de la visión a esa edad. Encontramos un número importante de registros visuales que no alcanzan AV 10/10 inclusive después de la edad en que los niños suelen haber completado el desarrollo de la AV.Recomendaciones: Realizar Control sistemático de la AV de los niños desde la edad preescolar y realizar la devolución  de los resultados a familiares de los  niños y docentes. Resumo:Os problemas de visão não diagnosticados são frequentes na idade escolar. Um registro da acuidade visual que não atinge a unidade pode se corresponder com um evento mórbido ou um momento particular no desenvolvimento da visão da criança. É, portanto, de interesse conhecer a idade na qual é completado o processo de maturidade visual. O trabalho desenvolvido descreve esses eventos em uma população de crianças em idade escolar. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como alvo determinar a prevalência de acuidade e maturidade visual de crianças das escolas 276, 148 e Montserrat, Bairro Três Ombúes, anos de 2008, 2009 e 2010. Material e Métodos: Estudo transversal, de 2.088 registros de AV (olhos separadamente) correspondentes a 1045crianças entre 5 e 14 anos de idade. Os registros foram feitos com o cartaz Snellen a 5 metros e foram distribuídos por idade e AV atingido. Resultados: Dos 2088 registros visuais analisados, 76% têm AV 10/10, e 24% apresentam um registro inferior. Ao compararmos por idade, observa-se que a prevalência do registro AV 10/10 aumenta até os 7 anos de idade, atingindo 86% e permanece entre 78 e 87% até os 14 anos de idade. Conclusões: Pode-se deduzir que até 7 anos um número crescente de olhos atinge o registro 10/10 confirmando a hipótese de que as crianças culminam o processo de desenvolvimento e maturidade da visão nessa idade. Achamos um número significativo de registros visuais que não atingem AV 10/10, mesmo após a idade em que as crianças costumam ter concluído o desenvolvimento de AV. Recomendações: Controlar sistematicamente a AV de crianças desde a idade pré-escolar e fazer o retorno de resultados aos parentes das crianças e professores. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac.
