| dc.description | Refractive defects are visual anomalies that cause the inability of the eye to focus light correctly on the retina which can cause blurred vision up close (farsightedness), far (myopia) or distorted (astigmatism), vision is essential for all people and when presenting a visual impairment either by a refractive error or pathology, The high prevalence of these visual deficiencies in the indigenous population is an indicator of inequality in social and health aspects in comparison with other populations, which makes it clear that it is important to determine the incidence of refractive errors in the indigenous population. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive, non-experimental study was carried out in the population between 20 and 39 years of age in the community of Narganá. Visual acuity (near and far) and refraction tests were performed to obtain values. A total of 139 subjects were evaluated, 34.8% were emmetropic, 50.7% astigmatism, 10.1% hypermetropic and 4.3% myopic. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Los defectos refractivos son anomalías visuales que causan la incapacidad del ojo para enfocar la luz correctamente sobre la retina, lo cual puede causar visión borrosa de cerca (hipermetropía), de lejos (miopía) o distorsionada (astigmatismo), la visión es esencial para todas las personas y al presentar una deficiencia visual, ya sea por un error refractivo o patología, la alta prevalencia de estas deficiencias visuales en los pobladores indígena es un indicador de desigualdad en aspectos sociales y de salud en comparación con otras poblaciones, lo anterior expuesto deja claro que es importante determinar la incidencia de los defectos refractivos en la población indígena. Se realizó un estudio no experimental transversal, retrospectivo de tipo descriptivo en la población de entre 20 a 39 años de la comunidad de Narganá. Se realizaron pruebas de agudeza visual (cerca y lejos) y refracción para obtener valores. Se evaluaron 139 sujetos, 34.8% fueron emétropes, 50.7% astigmatismo, un 10.1% de hipermétropes y un 4.3% miopes. | |
