Freemetropia is a light refraction disorder that enters the eye that prevents focusing nearby objects. It is usually a hereditary disorder. Uncreated childhood farsightedness can become a cause of strabismus or vagus eye. Freemetropia should not be confused with the presbyopy.
Causes of Freemetropia
Small than normal ocular balloon diameter
Freemetropia is usually a hereditary defect and what happens is that the diameter of the ocular globe is smaller than normal or that the cornea is too flat.
Freemetropia symptoms
Headache, visual fatigue and learning delay
The signs that may indicate that a child can be hypermetrope, for the effort made by the lens to achieve visual accommodation, are:
– Headache after performing tasks that involve vision at a short distance.
– Visual fatigue. They rub their eyes frequently.
– Ardor and/or pain pain.
– Delay in learning.
In adults there is difficulty for the next vision, for example to be able to read, which reaches the distant vision over the years.
Freemetropia diagnosis
Ocular exam
Freemetropia is diagnosed in the ophthalmologist’s consultation with an eye exam, refraction and evaluation evaluation tests, with different lenses, visual tests to see up close and far.
A few drops will also be applied to delay the pupils to evaluate the Fund.
Treatment and Medication of Freemetropia
Glasses, contact lenses or surgery
Freemetropia is chronic and the correction factor is applied by using convergent lens glasses adjusted to precise or lenses. It is also possible to correct it by surgery. There are several refractory surgery procedures that are only recommended in case of stabilization of visual disorder and if the specialist considers that the case is surgically viable.
Freemetropia prevention
Visual control
Freemetropia, being fundamentally of hereditary origin, cannot be prevented but early detection is always key. From 6 months of age, children must make a review of the view and during the school years, every two years, if no visual problem has been presented, they must keep it on their health agenda. In fact, the Biennial Vision Review Program must be a constant throughout life even if the person does not present visual problems. These periodic reviews will allow to detect any anomaly if it occurs.
