Problemas comunes de visión

Los problemas de visión más comunes son los errores de refracción, conocidos más comúnmente como vista corta (miopía), hipermetropía, astigmatismo y presbicia. Los errores de refracción ocurren cuando la forma del ojo evita que la luz se enfoque directamente en la retina. El largo del globo ocular (más corto o más largo), ciertos cambios en la forma de la córnea o el envejecimiento del cristalino pueden causar errores de refracción. La mayoría de las personas tiene una o más de estas enfermedades.

La córnea y el cristalino desvían (refractan) los rayos de luz que vienen entrando para que se enfoquen con precisión sobre la retina en la parte posterior del ojo.

¿Qué es la refracción?

La refracción ocurre cuando la luz cambia su dirección al pasar a través de un objeto hacia otro. La visión ocurre cuando los rayos de luz se desvían (son refractados) al pasar a través de la córnea y el cristalino. Esta luz es enfocada luego sobre la retina. La retina transforma la luz en impulsos eléctricos que se envían al cerebro a través del nervio óptico. El cerebro interpreta estos mensajes, convirtiéndolos en las imágenes que vemos.

¿Cuáles son los tipos diferentes de los errores de refracción?
Los tipos más comunes de los errores de refracción son la miopía, la hipermetropía, el astigmatismo y la presbicia.

La miopía es un trastorno en que los objetos cercanos se ven con claridad, mientras que los objetos lejanos se ven borrosos. Con la miopía, la luz se enfoca delante de la retina en vez de hacerlo sobre la retina.

La hipermetropía (también llamada hiperopía) es un tipo de error de refracción común donde se puede ver los objetos distantes con mayor claridad que los objetos cercanos. Sin embargo, las personas experimentan la hipermetropía de formas diferentes. Puede que algunas personas no noten ningún problema con su visión, especialmente cuando son jóvenes. Mientras para las personas con una hipermetropía considerable, la visión puede ser borrosa para objetos a cualquier distancia, sean de cerca o de lejos.

El astigmatismo es un trastorno en el que el ojo no enfoca la luz de forma pareja sobre la retina, el tejido sensible a la luz en la parte posterior del ojo. Esto puede hacer que las imágenes se vean borrosas o alargadas.

La presbicia es una condición relacionada con la edad en la que la capacidad de enfocar de cerca se vuelve más difícil. A medida que el ojo envejece, el cristalino ya no puede cambiar de forma lo suficiente para permitir que el ojo enfoque en los objetos cercanos con claridad.

¿Quién corre el riesgo de tener errores de refracción?

La presbicia afecta a la mayoría de los adultos de más de 35 años de edad. Otros errores de refracción afectan tanto a los niños como a los adultos. Las personas con padres que tienen ciertos errores de refracción tienen más probabilidades de tener uno o más errores de refracción.

¿Cuáles son los signos y síntomas de los errores de refracción?

La visión borrosa es el síntoma más común de los errores de refracción. Otros síntomas pueden incluir:

  • Visión doble
  • Visión nublada
  • Luz deslumbrante o halos alrededor de luces brillantes
  • Entrecerrar los ojos para ver
  • Dolores de cabeza
  • Fatiga visual

¿Cómo se diagnostican los errores de refracción?

Un oculista puede diagnosticar los errores de refracción durante un examen completo de los ojos con dilatación de las pupilas. Muchas veces, las personas con errores de refracción van a un oculista con quejas de incomodidad visual o visión borrosa. Sin embargo, algunas personas no saben que no ven tan claramente como podrían.

¿Cómo se corrigen los errores de refracción?

Se puede corregir los errores de refracción con anteojos, lentes de contacto o cirugía.
