Disfunción acomodativa en paciente masculino de 17 años.

In the present optometry clinical case, a 17-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of accommodative excess is presented. Accommodative excess manifests itself through a series of symptoms and visual discomfort that affects the patient's visual system. Its causes are varied, from inadequate visual habits, lack of visual rest, uncorrected - diagnosed ametropia. Among the characteristic symptoms we have eye fatigue, headache, blurred vision and difficulty focusing in both distance and near vision. A complete visual evaluation was applied and visual acuity tests, Cover test, PPC, fundus, and biomicroscopy were applied. The final diagnosis was pseudomyopia caused by incorrect lens prescription and constant use of electronic equipment. This is due to excessive stimulation of ocular accommodation mechanisms. Excessive use of electronic equipment can cause alterations in vision, generating problems such as pseudomyopia and eye fatigue, which causes discomfort when carrying out activities such as reading or computer work. Among the main refractive errors that we find in the community are myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism, however, when a patient presents cumulative excess and is not properly diagnosed, they can be confused with any of the aforementioned ametropias. This, instead of improving the patient's visual health, will generate discomfort and more discomfort. This case demonstrates the importance of implementing additional testing to rule out other problems such as accommodative excess. The vision therapy alternative is recommended to prevent eye fatigue.
