Ametropías y su relación con fatiga visual en los estudiantes de la Unidad Educativa Municipal Segundo Ulpiano Figueroa, Cantón Caluma-Bolívar octubre 2024-abril 2025.

Ametropias are a common problem in the population. This is caused by anatomical states that cause the light rays to not focus correctly on the retina, these are myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Visual fatigue is a state that arises mainly due to exhaustion of the ciliary muscle, caused by excessive effort of the visual system, and in most circumstances it is reversible, although sometimes optical correction is needed. Objective: To determine the ametropias and their relationship with visual fatigue of the students of the Segundo Ulpiano Figueroa Municipal Educational Unit, Caluma-Bolívar Canton October 2024-April 2025. Methodology: A field research with a descriptive approach was carried out that allows us to obtain quantifiable, prospective and cross-sectional data, the clinical histories were essential for the collection of data, as well as through visual examinations it was possible to identify ametropias. Our population was 80 students, and the research sample was 45 students, resulting in the existence of various types of ametropias among the students of the Segundo Ulpiano Figueroa Municipal Educational Unit, with myopia being the most frequent ametropia and students who suffered from these ametropias presented symptoms of eye fatigue. Concluding that ametropias cause visual fatigue, it is necessary to implement preventive strategies, as well as early detection of ametropias, in order to then apply proper optical correction and reduce the symptoms of visual fatigue.
