DETERMINACIÓN DE LA RESPUESTA ACOMODATIVA EN PACIENTES ESCOLARES DE LA UNIDAD EDUCATIVA MATHIUS QUINTANILLA SIERRA, PORTOVIEJO

Abstract

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.
