The oculomotor movements include: fixation firmness, saccadic and following movements. The objective was to carry out an optometric examination and a diagnosis about alterations of the MOM with subjective measurement tests, NSUCO test used by Mapple the Developmental Eye Movement test (DEM) to children who had MOM disorders associated to reading problems and low school performance in two primary schools in Bogota. 533 children from 7 to 9 years old were examined and diagnosed without oculomotor disorders; 413 children were classified as normal Type I; 120 children had MOM deficiencies and reading problems, out of them 56 were classified as Type II, 37, type III; and 27, Type IV. Regarding refractive defects, astigmatism was diagnosed as the most recurrent, followed by long-sightedness and myopia. As a conclusion, we can determine that it is possible to diagnose MOM disorders with routine optometric examinations based on the NSUCO test and DEM test. |
