ABSTRACT Objective: To develop and validate a Children’s Eye Care Guide for Ophthalmology courses. Methods: Methodological study on the development and validation of teaching material using the ADDIE instructional design. The validation phase used a panel of experts and an Educational Content Validation Instrument in Health to evaluate the content, and residents for semantic evaluation. Results: A Guide for children’s ophthalmological care was developed and validated, covering the topics of eye testing and stages of the ophthalmological examination: anamnesis, visual […]

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the accuracy of best-corrected visual acuity in patients with diabetic retinopathy to corrected visual acuity ≤ 20/200 in both eyes, measured by Snellen and ETDRS charts, in addition to evaluation of reading time by Jaeger chart. Methods: An observational and cross-sectional study. Study Groups: Group I, patients with visual acuity 20/200, and Group II, patients with visual acuity >20/200. Patients were subdivided into those with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The study variables […]

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the morpho-functional profile of the evaluation of patients with diabetic retinopathy without severe loss of visual acuity in a public hospital of reference in endocrinology, determining in this sample, the relation between the time of diabetes, age and visual acuity with the retinal thickness measured by the optical Coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus picture (FP). METHODS: Prospective, linear study was carried through, in transversal cut of 61 consecutive patients with diabetic retinopathy registered in the HRT, and […]
