          Abstract

          Resumen El método preferido de cribado visual entre los tres y los cinco años es la medida directa de la agudeza visual con optotipos. En el presente trabajo se describe el procedimiento de valoración de la agudeza visual con optotipos, se analizan los requisitos que deben cumplir los optotipos más adecuados y se actualizan los criterios de derivación a oftalmología de acuerdo con las recomendaciones más recientes.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract The preferred method of visual screening in 3 to 5 year olds is the direct measure of visual acuity with optotypes. In the present paper the procedure of assessment of visual acuity with optotypes is described. The features the adequate optotypes must meet are analyzed and the referral criteria to the ophthalmologist according to the most recent recommendations are updated.

          Visual System Assessment in Infants, Children, and Young Adults by Pediatricians

          (2016)
          Appropriate visual assessments help identify children who may benefit from early interventions to correct or improve vision. Examination of the eyes and visual system should begin in the nursery and continue throughout both childhood and adolescence during routine well-child visits in the medical home. Newborn infants should be examined using inspection and red reflex testing to detect structural ocular abnormalities, such as cataract, corneal opacity, and ptosis. Instrument-based screening, if available, should be first attempted between 12 months and 3 years of age and at annual well-child visits until acuity can be tested directly. Direct testing of visual acuity can often begin by 4 years of age, using age-appropriate symbols (optotypes). Children found to have an ocular abnormality or who fail a vision assessment should be referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist or an eye care specialist appropriately trained to treat pediatric patients.
