Abstract(s)
A realização do presente relatório teve como base a análise de três casos clínicos:
adaptação de lente de contacto RPG em queratocone, insuficiência de convergência e
suspeita de degenerescência macular associada à idade (DMRI). Estes casos clínicos
são exemplos de situações com as quais tive contacto durante o estágio curricular no
mestrado em Optometria e Ciências da Visão da Universidade da Beira Interior. Os
trabalhos decorreram num período de seis meses, no Centro Clínico e Experimental em
Ciências da Visão (CCECV) na Universidade da Beira Interior na Covilhã.
Os casos clínicos apresentados neste relatório abordam a adaptação de uma lente RPG
Rose-K num paciente com queratocone, o desenvolvimento e execução de um plano de
terapia visual para um paciente com insuficiência de Convergência e a abordagem
optométrica a ter num paciente com suspeita de DMRI.
O queratocone é uma doença distrófica da córnea que leva à perda de acuidade visual.
Geralmente está associado a sintomas como a perceção de imagens fantasmas, cefaleias
e diplopia. O exame complementar da topografia corneana é fundamental na deteção
desta condição. Um dos possíveis meios de reabilitação visual pode passar pela
adaptação de lentes de contacto RPG específica para o queratocone.
A insuficiência de convergência é uma disfunção binocular que se caracteriza pela
incapacidade de manter uma convergência sem esforço. O tratamento pode passar por
treino visual com o objetivo de normalizar a convergência, eliminando assim as queixas
e sintomas do paciente.
A DMRI é uma doença degenerativa da retina, sendo uma das maiores causas de
cegueira em idade avançada. A deteção precoce é fundamental no controlo da doença,
visto que não existe tratamento.
The completion of this report was based on the analysis of three clinical cases: Adaptation of an RPG Contact Lens in a Keratoconus, Convergence Insufficiency and Suspicion of ARMD. These clinical cases are examples of situations I had contact with during the curricular internship in the master’s degree in Optometry and Vision Sciences at the University of Beira Interior. The work took place over a period of six months at the Clinical and Experimental Center in Vision Sciences (CCECV) at the University of Beira Interior in Covilhã. This work presents a RGP Rose-K lens adaptation in a patient with Keratoconus, the development and execution of a visual therapy plan for a patient with Convergence insufficiency and the optometric approach to take in a patient with suspected AMD. Keratoconus is a dystrophic corneal disease leading to loss of visual acuity. which is usually associated with symptoms such as the perception of phantom images, headache and diplopia vision. Further examination of the corneal topography is fundamental in the detection of this condition. The treatment may pass through an RGP lens adaptation specific for keratoconus. Convergence Insufficiency is a binocular disfunction that is characterized by the inability to effortlessly maintain convergence. The treatment can go through visual training in order to normalize the convergence, thus eliminating the patient's complaints and symptoms. AMD is a degenerative retinal disease, being one of the biggest causes of blindness in old age. Early detection is essential in controlling the disease, as there is no treatment.
