ROSELLO LEYVA, Annelise et al. Characterization of low vision at the “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” resource and support center. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.2 Epub 15-Nov-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.
Objective:
To characterize the ophthalmologic diseases that cause visual functional diversity in students of the “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” Resource and Support Center.
Methods:
Descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted in January, 2017. The variables investigated were: age, gender, school grade, prenatal history, main ophthalmologic diagnosis, associated diseases, ophthalmologic syndromes, best corrected visual acuity, refractive defect, optical and non-optical aids used.
Results:
The sample consisted of 66 students (95.6% of those enrolled), predominantly aged 10-14 years, for both genders. Out of these, 24 students were totally blind (36.4%). Compound hyperopic astigmatism was the most frequent primary ametropia. Optical and non-optical aids were used by most of the students.
Conclusions:
The most frequent ocular diseases causing low vision were congenital cataract and optic nerve atrophy. Optical and non-optical aids are used with the collaboration of the rehabilitator and teachers.
