EARLY DETECTION OF LAW VISION WITH PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN TRHOUG SYSTEMATIC CHECK-UPS AT THE AGE OF 3 AND 5 IN BITOLA
The early detection of the law vision of pre-school children
has been carried out through systematic
check-ups by an ophthalmologist sent by the Department for preventive
protection-Advisory Division at the Medical Center since 1977.
The children are invited by the Advisory Center and during
the systematic check-ups they are sent
to the Cabinet for orthoptics and pleoptics for the ophthamologic check-up.
The parents are motivated for the check-up and are explained
how to prepare the child for cooperation during the examination. The findings
are recorded in the child record card in the Advisory Center together with the
findings of the psychologist, blood test, urine, faecal test of parasites and
some other necessary tests.
The records of the examination were obtained from the
evidence on systematic check-ups at the Cabinet for orthoptics and pleoptics.
From 1987 till August this year, 5.414 children-3.609 at the
age of 3 and 1.805 at the age of 5 came for systematic check-ups at the
Cabinet.
Among the examined children, 5.7% were with echophobia, 2.3%
were with astigmatism, 1.6% with amblyopia, 1.4% with hypermetropia, 0.9% with
strabismus and 0.2% with miopia.
Among the children with sight problems, the echophobia is
present with 47.3%, astigmatism with 18.8%, amblyopia with 13.2%, hypermetropia
with 11.9%, strabismus with 7.2% and miopia with 1.8%.
Children whose parents, brothers and sisters wear glasses
were sent for check-ups at the age of 18 to 3 years. The earliest findings of
sight difficulties are obtained with children who cooperate during the
check-ups.
As soon as the low vision is discovered, the
defectologist-orthoptic therapist starts the necessary exercises and the sight
is corrected with the glasses.
At this age, children easily adapt to wearing glasses and
they do not oppose them as the children whose sight correction started at the
school age.
