ABSTRACT Aims:To investigate the occurrence of visual disturbances in schoolchildren from a philanthropic institution in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with students aged six to 12 years, both male and female, who attended a philanthropic institution in 2012. The Ishihara test and the Snellen chart were used for visual screening. Later, those students with abnormal results were referred to a specialist. Results: Ninety-four schoolchildren were included in the study. Eighteen were found by the visual screening to have some impairment: suspected dyschromatopsia in five and poor visual acuity in 13, according to the Snellen chart. Eleven students, three with suspected dyschromatopsia and eight with poor visual acuity, went to see a specialist. After ophthalmologic evaluation, one child with suspected dyschromatopsia was unsure about the positive diagnosis. Among the students with abnormal visual acuity, two presented with visual deficit. Conclusions:The results show that, although a considerable number of students presented with some type of visual problem during the visual screening, impairment was not confirmed by most of the ophthalmologic evaluations. These findings highlight the importance of screening for the detection of visual disorders, provided that it is followed by ophthalmologic assessments for proper diagnosis and guidance.

“…(2) Statistical studies are made with this group of patients, showing rates ranging from 8% to 34% of visual impairment. (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) The wide range of prevalence of visual difficulties in children and adolescents among several studies is explained by the population, temporal and methodological differences. It is known, for example, that these indexes are higher in patients at highrisk groups, such as low-income families.…”

Objetivos: Descrever e analisar a prevalência de baixa acuidade visual e suas causas em estudantes do ensino público de Belo Horizonte/MG. Métodos: Estudo transversal de 1452 escolares de 5 a 19 anos, do ensino público de Belo Horizonte/MG, triados e atendidos entre 2011 e 2014. Resultados: Da amostra total, 150 pacientes (10,33%) apresentaram baixa acuidade visual à triagem, recebendo encaminhamento para atendimento oftalmológico. Quarenta (26,66%) dos encaminhados compareceram à consulta, onde 29 (72,5%) desses apresentaram indicação de correção visual. O astigmatismo miópico simples e composto foram os diagnósticos mais relacionados à prescrição de óculos. Conclusão: O estudo mostrou que a prevalência de baixa acuidade visual na população estudada foi compatível com demais programas semelhantes. Em contra partida, a taxa de abstenção foi maior do que o esperado, evidenciando a importância da criação de medidas preventivas e informativas quanto à importância do cuidado com a saúde ocular.
