    In order to know the reality of the visual health and to determine the frequency of the visual defects in a rural community, we select to the denominated place Mejía for this community work, the same one that belongs to the Parish Picoaza of the Canton Portoviejo whose population is considered in 3618 inhabitants. Of this population he/she took a sample conformed by the following programmatic groups: 128 smaller than 12 years and 198 bigger than 40 years. The methodology used for the realization of this community work you bases on the statistical-descriptive method, the same one that you development in three stages. The first one consisted on the realization of the tamizaje to detect people with a diminished Visual Sharpness. So that in the second stage to these people are carried out the refraction in which you determines the type of visual defect and lastly one carries out the correction of the visual defects with the donation of ophthalmic eyeglasses for the solution of the problem. After carrying out this field investigation he/she shows that approximately 70% of people that intervened in this investigation requires of the use of ophthalmic eyeglasses for the correction of the visual defects. Also that not only the economic factor impacts in the prevalencia of visual defects without correcting, but rather also the lack of information about the institutions of visual health, they limit the access to the visual attention.

    The eyes are the Windows of the world and an excellent vision contributed directly with each one of the activities that we do. The vision problems appear daily affecting in different magnitude, the Government must be worry for the children that have a low vision because many times they are of few economic resources and they can’t obtain the necessary implements for their correction. The campaign of low vision are very important because they give a lights hope to them witch don’t have it, in them we can find capacity people to attend each one of the different cases. The children are the people that will govern tomorrow, their good health and an excellent learning is fundamental for this reason it turn in a fountain of a greats importance. Such in Ecuador as a level wad. This community project is directed “To Evaluate the visual state in children of the Integration Institute of the Visual Deficient of the Citadel Municipal Parish Picoaza Canton Portoviejo, Period of February to July of de 2008”. It began with the diagnosis of the communitarian to know the situation Socio- Cultural and identify its principals visual problems be able to confirm the necessity of visual corrections as well in student as teachings wish influence in their daily learning. It was observed the obscene of support by organizations because in the institute we can find student with a low vision that require implements of the raised cost for the best development and for the prices of these they cant acquire directly. Its was realized optometric exams as well in teaching as students this way also conferences about visual therapy and Deficiently Sensorial Visual in which we can teach ortoptica exercises and others that contribute of the best way as well in students, teaching and parents. It was recommended to the master of the Institute to continue with the labor of to make optometric exams once a year, to contribute with the realization of the visual therapy and show them the importance of the glasses in the students that require it for these give them the adequate care. This work finished with success thanks to the support of the people that work in the Institute of Integration of the Visual Deficiently to the family parents and to the responsible of this project.

    The optometrist is a member of the Visual Health Multidisciplinary Team and is constituted a professional whose academic and professional profile is clear and objective. The optometry also represents the first defense line against the blindness, since 80% of patients that present problems of visual character are of the refractive type and 20% present pathologies which are dedicated to the ophtalmologist who presides over the Ocular Health Team, the necessity is born that a not very distant day the professional in optometry works in Public Health Institutions. The goal of this project, is to determine the different ametropias, to guide about the importance of performing periodic checkups of the visual sharpness, to prevent irreversible damages as the ambyoplia for suppression, strabismus, diplopia, etc. Also to give corrective eyeglasses in a free way to patients of the community who present ametropias. The municipality of Manta, the Catholic Church "La Merced", the City Municipal Patronage, will support the logistical part and provision of the corrective eyeglasses for the residents of this so needy sector of the city. In the sector of Urbirios, a population of 350 patients was assisted and corrective eyeglasses were given to 315 people, the remaining 35 patients didn't present ametropias. With this work it is hoped to favor the residents of this sector in their daily activities providing an optimal vision, such as far vision and near vision, facilitating the performance in their labor activities. Due to the necessity of other sectors with low economic incomes that requested the visual attention to the Municipality, aside our project we assisted to 7 sectors of Manta, providing over a thousand corrective eyeglasses, achieving the Manta Mayor’s recognition and gratitude to the University, expressed to the thesis director Doctor Otoney Intriago. The community work concluded satisfactorily, we thank the collaboration of the president of the Urbiríos community, the Municipal Patronage Directress and her personnel, and the disinterested support of our thesis tribunal, just like to the assisted community

    The refraction defects or ametropías are all those situations in those that, for optic bad operation, the eye in not able to provide a good image. Many exist other circumstances in those that. The image at level of the retina is faulty, but that they don’t depend directly on an optic bad operation. Some of the refraction defect (myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and longisghtedness) defects will appear sooner or later throughout the life, for what is important to know how it can correct them and which the specific indication are in particular in each case, for that the only ones in giving an diagnostic guessed right they are the professionals in visual health. The posses the knowledge and techniques to give us the solutions to the refractive and visual problems in general, since alone the experts in this field with the evaluation and diagnostic they are the only on that should recommend us on the appropriate form of solving them. The main purpose of this thesis was the valuation and correction optometrica to the students of the school “10 Agosto” of the place Pachinche Adentro in the period June-November of the 2009.The evaluated population was 103 students. Among the most remarkable solutions we have the valuation in their entirety of the children, of the school “10 de Agosto”

    Refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism and ametropia are known as one of the reasons is due to defects in the curvature of the eye, preventing light rays are projected perfectly on the retina. These ametropia if not corrected in time can cause loss of vision. People who suffer from some type of ametropia symptoms such as headache, dizziness, burning eyes, visual fatigue, the diagnosis is confirmed by physical examination of the eyes, using Snellen, Safety Testing and retinoscopy. The main objective of this study was to evaluate optometric students from Columbus School Joint Fiscal Manabi, parish Portoviejo Canton Columbus, for the period December 2009 to June 2010 and the total for the population studied were 233 students. To do this we used a participatory approach, bibliographical, evaluative. Among the most relevant conclusions, we must be able to examine 100% of the population, found that 14% had visual problems, among which the spotlight was farsighted. In addition, information was provided personalized visual defects evaluated students to avoid complications and refractive errors in the future, as well as the handling and care of the lenses that were provided.

    The extraocular muscles perform a function of initiating and maintaining foveal fixation in order to maintain a clear vision. Some people are born with oculomotor dysfunction and acquire it from some disease or trauma, also due to the improper correction of refractive errors, which can cause problems in eye movements. The oculomotor alterations are dysfunctions of the extraocular muscles of the eyeball, which does not allow the complete functioning of our visual system and prevent the two eyes from working as the only visual system, with comfort, and therefore disorders and discomfort are generated. That is, this type of binocular vision anomalies indicates an inability or difficulty of being able to direct both eyes to a certain point. The aim of the present work was to identify the most common oculomotor alterations in ophtimetrically assessed children attending the sports schools of the Portoviejo canton. This included children from 6 to 11 years of age, including men and women, who perform physical school activities. It was concluded that the most common oculomotor alteration was the endophoria, although we do not have the exact data on the magnitude of these endophoria, if it is essential to monitor the patients, to avoid possible visual difficulties.

    The quality of life in users of ocular prostheses who attend eye care centers in the Province of Manabí after adaptation show improvement mostly in the aesthetic factor and not so much in the psychological or safety to society, to determine the quality of life. In this population, we proceeded to validate an evaluation instrument with three experts in the social and ocular field that allowed to know the factors that affect the quality of life after adaptation, influencing negatively in some cases. Some of the users live in marginal areas, difficult access to basic services, health care, lack of employment which causes not lead a full life. In this research it is known that there is no comprehensive rehabilitation plan that must be applied by the multidisciplinary team after adaptation in the users of eye prostheses and their family members so that they can return to society.

    The work was carried out with the purpose of expanding the information available on recurrent refractive defects in the population of Porto Alegre, which contributes to the establishment of specific correction methodologies, achieving efficiency in meeting the professional goals of optometry. The research was investigative, since it was based on previous research on refractive errors in children. Qualitative and bibliographic which was based from beginning to end on documents, articles, books, magazines, internet and other documentary sources that have supported the context. This issue was raised in order to maintain reliable data of the refractive defects that remain in the population of Porto Alegre who attended sports schools, since most of the population studied was of low economic resources which in most of the cases can not access optometric consultations to improve their visual life. To complement the work, the counting, verification and obtaining of all the data was carried out by means of the optometric sheets where all the necessary data for the realization of the work were found, which were in the files of the simulation clinic. It had been proposed as a proposal to raise a demographic profile where information could be kept on the places where the refractive defects have the highest incidence, however we could notice that the optometric cards used in the visual evaluations did not contain the necessary information, since these Attentions were part of a pilot plan in conjunction with the municipal GAD of Portoviejo, however by consensus it was concluded that this demographic profile is subsequently carried out to give continuity to this research work.

    The objective of the present work was to evaluate the color blindness in the students of the sports schools belonging to the program "For life" of the Autonomous Decentralized Government of Portoviejo, for which there was a population of three thousand children which had been valued by the Optometry students in connection hours since 2015. Color blindness is an alteration in which colors are not perceived in a normal way, the deficiency is hereditary and is transmitted by a recessive allele linked to the X chromosome. If a man inherits an affected X chromosome will be color blind, while women who they have two X chromosomes, they will be colorblind if both are affected, if only one will be a carrier and will be able to transmit it to the offspring. We identified 57 children with color blindness with the Ishihara test, of which 55 were male and 2 female; this is 1.9% of the total study population. These 57 children underwent another color assessment with the Farnsworth test to categorize the types and degree of color blindness of the students. The type of color blindness of greater percentage found was that of the Deuterán type of moderate degree. A survey was conducted of parents of students with color blindness to know the level of information about color blindness. In conclusion there is a considerable number of children with color blindness and the level of information about it is almost zero so it is recommended to continue with research and encourage the assessment of color vision to give a timely diagnosis and make known the alteration to the General population.

    This work was carried out to show that the study of ocular accommodation is classically defined as the process by which an increase in the refractive power of the eye is produced due to the modification of the crystalline form, increasing the curvature of the eye front and back face of it. The accommodation mechanism is triggered as a result of a retinal blur when trying to focus on a nearby object. First causing the contraction of the Ciliary muscle that pushes the ciliary processes and relaxes the fibers of Zinn's zonule, relaxing the tension maintained on the lens and increasing both sides of dioptric power with the objective that the ray of light reach the retina. Because there are no studies in our population that determine the value of the accommodative response, a group of students with visual acuity 0 LogMAR was evaluated in their living conditions of life to determine that accommodative response using the objective method considered more accurate as it is the retinoscopy of Nott. As well as determine the hours of use of your near vision to determine if there is a relationship between the accommodative response, and the use of near vision.

    In the present work, a virtual game was developed to perform amblyopia therapies using virtual reality. For this, an analysis of other virtual games that have been created, such as Dig Rush, Diplopia, Tetris, among others, was carried out. It was decided to develop a virtual game from the technological and innovative perspective with the advantage that it is the first virtual game in Spanish that was created in Ecuador. For the programming of the game, the programming language C Sharp (Programming Language) and the IDE (integrated development environment), which is the Unity (videogame development platform), were also used, such as Blender and Autocad (programs for the development of videogame figures). With the virtual game developed in addition to being used as therapy for amblyopia, it will be possible to evaluate if there are accommodative problems or there is suppression, an additional game was also created that will allow to define if the patient has any alteration of the color. At the end of the work, a survey was conducted of the optometrists who work with pediatric patients and perform visual therapies to evaluate the interest they have in acquiring the virtual game. It can be concluded that videogames will be highly accepted by professionals and patients as it is an innovative and technological project.

    The visual system is considered one of the most important in the senses of the human being and fundamental for the social and intellectual environment that in turn allows us to know the world that surrounds us. Refractive errors not diagnosed in childhood are one of the causes for low school performance, this is due to the learning difficulty caused by the decrease in vision, the main objective of this research being to evaluate refractive errors in children of 5 years of age. 12 years of the Julia Gonzales Barberan Educational Unit of Chone Parish, the methodology was of descriptive, analytical and bibliographic type, with non-experimental design, the instrument of information collection was through Clinical Histories, the assessment of visual acuity with LogMAR optotype and training to teachers about the importance of realization of the visual examination and its influence on learning, the results were announced according to the prevalence of the students attended were emmetropic with a percentage of 75%, and within the refractive error with the highest prevalence was Astigmatism with a percentage of 13%, according to gender, girls have a percentage higher than 15%, unlike children with a lower percentage of 12% in the entire study sample. . With these data it is concluded that refractive errors are related to learning and it is very important to emphasize that the early detection of these refractive errors can prevent learning problems.

    More awareness of Dry Eye Syndrome has emerged in many parts of the world since the 1990s; there are organizations that have made an incalculable effort to publicize the basis and impact of this disease in order to provide better clinical management to those who suffer from it. In our country, Latin America and other Spanish-speaking countries, there are no studies of this problem that allow us to know what we are facing; questionnaires such as the one used in this research is not validated for use in our populations. The dry eye syndrome is a real problem that causes a lot of discomfort, but that is curiously underdiagnosed in the ophthalmological consultations in our country, so it is very important to carry out this study and even more in a population that is daily exposed to environmental pollutants that are harmful to your eye health. Educating the population in general with visual health issues is a pending task that Optometry professionals have; since the importance of a correct refraction is equal to the importance and care of the tear film for a proper functioning of the same and avoid in this way, significantly increase the statistics of dry eye syndrome.
