Add Tag | Summary: | Myopia is a refractive defect that prevents the proper focusing of objects over long distances. It usually occurs at an early age and is usually detected at school. When we speak of strong or magna myopia, we mean when the visual acuity is seriously affected, ie the refractive defect exceeds 6 dioptres and this is produced by an excessive elongation of the eyeball, This means that its anteroposterior axis is greater than 26 mm and may present other symptoms such as astigmatism. It is advisable to perform timely optometric check-ups to identify the progress and severity of this refractive defect and thus provide treatments to provide the patient with the best alternative to preserve acuity visual. It is the duty of the professional optometrist to provide the necessary treatment and care in this situation. We know that there is no cure for myopia magna, but through treatments we can improve the visual quality of the patient so that he can have a better quality of life. In the present case study we have a female patient with 10 years of age who presents magna myopia, which has progressed in recent months. His last visual check was 6 months ago, but he already had discomfort and difficulty observing the blackboard with those lenses. The optometric visual check revealed that in addition to presenting with myopia, the girl also has astigmatism. |
