Abstract
INTRODUCCIÓN. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las ametropías detectadas en niños estudiados en la consulta de oftalmología del Policlínico Docente «Frank País García», en Santiago de Cuba, en el período comprendido de septiembre del 2009 a febrero del 2010. MÉTODOS. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal. El universo estuvo constituido por un total de 68 niños que asistieron a dicha consulta y coincidió con la muestra de estudio. A todos los pacientes se les realizó la refracción objetiva y subjetiva. Las variables estudiadas fueron grupos de edad, sexo, diagnóstico en consulta y síntomas presentes en los pacientes. Se calculó la frecuencia de las ametropías y luego se agruparon en hipermetropías, miopías, astigmatismo y anisometropías. RESULTADOS. Entre los principales resultados se encontró que el grupo de edad de 5 a 9 años (69,1 %) fue el más consultado, con predominio del sexo femenino (83,8 %). Las ametropías representaron el 69,5 % de los casos y la más frecuente fue la miopía (51,6 %), específicamente, ligera y moderada (37,2 %). Se encontró astigmatismo en el 19,6 % de los pacientes y el miópico simple fue el predominante (69,1 %). Los principales síntomas referidos fueron cefalea, sensación de prurito y ardor ocular y dolor ocular, para un 27,1%, 26,4 % y 24,3 %, respectivamente. CONCLUSIONES. En general, las ametropías fueron frecuentes en el estudio, de ahí la importancia de su pesquisaje activo en el área de salud desde las etapas tempranas de la vida, para realizar su corrección a tiempo y evitar futuras complicaciones.

METHODS. A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted. Universe included a total of 68 children seen in such consultation coinciding with study sample. In all patient an objective and subjective refraction was carried out. Study variables included age, sex, diagnosis in consultation and symptoms present in patients. Frequency of ametropias was estimated and then they were grouped in hypermetropias, myopias, astigmatism and anisometropias. RESULTS. Among the major results found the more studied was the 5-9 years age group (69,1%) with predominance of female sex (83,85). Ametropias accounted for the 69,5% of cases and the more frequent one was the myopia (51,6%), specifically the slight and the moderate ones (37,2%).
