“…Ocular injury is the leading cause of unilateral blindness in children (Jandeck et al, 2000). It is estimated that ocular injuries are avoidable in up to 90% of cases avoiding the mechanisms of damage to the ocular structures (Saxena et al, 2002;Santhiago et al, 2009;Abbott et al, 2013).…”

Introduction: There are not many studies of pediatric trauma in Nepal. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out the visual outcome of pediatric traumatic cataract and causes of poor visual acuity. Materials and Methods: In this hospital based prospective study, all children visiting the pediatric department of Lumbini Eye Institute and Research Center with traumatic cataract and visual outcome after surgery from July 2018 to August 2019 were evaluated. A total of 136 children ranging from age (0 months to 15 years) with traumatic cataract were included in the study. Data on age of presentation, sex and diagnosis were collected from clinical charts and analyzed. Results: The study enrolled 136 cases with traumatic cataract. 72.1% male and 27.9% female patients were involved with the average age being 9.46 years (SD 2.95). Final visual acuity was better than 20/60 in 73 percent of the children. Visual acuity was poor in 27 percent of children. In children with poor visual acuity 44 percent of the patients had corneal opacity, 23 percent had retinal detachment and 18 percent had vitreous opacification secondary to trauma. Closed globe injury was seen in 72 percent of children and 28 percent had open globe injury. Conclusion: Male children were more prone to traumatic cataract than female children. Open globe injury with corneal laceration and opacity was the major cause of decreased visual acuity.

“…This issue was addressed in a retrospective study conducted at Piedade Hospital between 2006 and 2007, which found that the average time between the suspicion of congenital cataract by a paediatrician or layman and ophthalmic examination was 3 months. Therefore, screening protocols are critical to avoid this long waiting period and to promote the child's well-being (18) .…”

Objetivo: Observar o nível de acuidade visual (AV) de estudantes do ensino fundamental público de Curitiba, bem como avaliar a relação entre redução visual, aprendizado e as condições estruturais de estudo. Métodos: Medida da AV dos alunos de primeira a terceira série de uma escola pública de Curitiba pelo método de Snellen, medição do comprimento e intensidade luminosa das salas, além do tamanho das letras no quadro negro e dos livros didáticos. Obtenção do boletim escolar dos alunos com baixa visão.Resultados: Das 242 crianças examinadas, 225 (92,97%) apresentaram acuidade visual boa, ou seja, AV 20/20 ou 20/25 em ambos os olhos, e 17 (7,03%) apresentaram AV igual ou pior que 20/30. Desses 17, somente um sentava na última linha de carteiras, o qual era o único que apresentava notas abaixo da média; todos os outros 16 tiveram notas na média escolar. A iluminação das salas de aulas estavam todas dentro do preconizado pelo NBR-5413. O tamanho da letra usada pela professora no quadro negro corresponde a 20/200 da tabela de Snellen, e no livro ao que corresponde J3 da tabela de Jaeger. Conclusão: A escola fornece condições e estrutura adequadas para o aproveitamento pleno dos alunos. Pode-se relacionar aprendizado com boas condições de trabalho escolar. Sendo assim, além de uma triagem da AV, as escolas devem estar atentas as condições estruturais necessárias para um bom trabalho escolar. Descritores: Acuidade visual; Crianças; Instituições acadêmicas;Aprendizagem;Avaliação educacional Purpose: Verify the rate of non-detectable low visual acuity (VA) in a public school of Curitiba and evaluate the relation between vision reduced, learning and study condition. Methods: Snellen visual acuity testing was done to all students from first to third grades at a Municipal School of Curitiba. Classroom's length and light intensity were obtained as well as the size of blackboard and books' letters. Academic scores were obtained from all students with VA equal or less than 20/30OU.Results: Of all 242 students, 225 presented VA equal or better than 20/25, and 17 (7.03%) equal or worse than 20/30. One of those 17 students study on the last row of chairs and had a low school performance. The light intensity was within the rules of NBR-5413. Besides that, the letter of blackboard corresponds to 20/200 in Snellen VA test, and the book's letters corresponds to J3 in Jaeger near VA test.Conclusion:The school presented good conditions and structure for schoolwork. However, learning and good condition of studying could be related. In addition to a screening of VA, schools must be mindful of the conditions necessary for good schoolwork.
