Abstract(s)
Este relatório de estágio, intitulado “Exoforia Básica, Adaptação de Lentes de Contacto
Multifocais, Suspeita de Catarata” resulta do estágio curricular integrado no mestrado
em Optometria e Ciências da Visão. O estágio teve a duração de 6 meses, foi realizado na
Multiopticas, em Oliveira do Hospital.
Durante este período, foram selecionados três casos clínicos relevantes para a execução
do relatório.
O primeiro caso clínico, referente ao tema visão binocular, aborda a Exoforia básica.
Trata-se de uma disfunção binocular não estrábica que se manifesta com sintomas como
desconforto visual, fadiga ocular e visão turva, especialmente na visão de perto. O
tratamento desta condição inclui, principalmente, a correção da ametropia e terapia
visual. Neste caso, foi apenas implementado o primeiro tratamento.
O segundo caso clínico, Adaptação de Lentes de Contacto Multifocais, enquadra-se na
temática de superfície ocular e lentes de contacto. Este tipo de lentes corrige a visão a
todas as distâncias, sendo geralmente utilizado por pacientes com presbiopia, como
alternativa aos óculos para visão de perto. O processo de adaptação envolve a avaliação
da visão por parte do optometrista, a escolha do design da lente e a realização de testes
de ajuste, com o objetivo de proporcionar uma boa acuidade visual.
O terceiro caso clínico, intitulado Suspeita de Catarata, integra-se na área da saúde
ocular. A catarata nuclear é a opacificação do cristalino, sendo mais comum em pessoas
idosas. Esta condição provoca sintomas como visão turva, sensibilidade à luz e
dificuldade de visão por exemplo, durante a condução noturna. Neste caso, o paciente,
embora relativamente jovem, não apresentou sintomas. Foi encaminhado para a
especialidade de Oftalmologia para acompanhamento e avaliação regular.
This internship report, titled “Basic Exophoria, Multifocal Contact Lens Fitting, Suspected Cataract”, is the result of the curricular internship as part of the master’s degree in Optometry and Vision Sciences. The internship lasted 6 months and was carried out at Multiopticas in Oliveira do Hospital. During this period, three relevant clinical cases were selected for the report. The first clinical case, related to binocular vision, addresses Basic Exophoria. This is a non-strabismic binocular dysfunction that manifests with symptoms such as visual discomfort, eye fatigue and blurred vision, especially when viewing up close. The treatment for this condition mainly includes refractive error correction and vision therapy. In this case, only the first treatment was implemented. The second clinical case, Multifocal Contact Lens Adaptation, falls within the theme of ocular surface and contact lenses. This type of lens corrects vision at all distances and is typically used by patients with presbyopia as an alternative to reading glasses. The adaptation process involves the optometrist’s vision assessment, the selection of the lens design, and conducting fitting tests to ensure good visual acuity. The third clinical case , titled Suspected Cataract, is within the area of ocular health. Nuclear cataracts are the clouding of the lens, most commonly seen in older individuals. This condition causes symptoms such as blurred vision, light sensitivity, and difficulty seeing, for example, during night driving. In this case, the patient although relatively young, did not present symptoms. The patient was referred to the Ophthalmology specialty for follow-up and regular evaluation.
