ABSTRACT

The visual screening is the application of a simple, duplicable, valid, sensitive and specific test that allows identifying an ocular alteration that may not be evident at first glance during childhood and that is likely to cause visual or a systemic problem. In Mexico there is a legal basis to know when and who should go under this procedure, yet there is nothing to standardize the technique to be used. This paper describes the preliminary results of a visual screening model that allows to consider the usefulness and impact of an early visual screening since out of 50 screening babies, ten (20%) were found to carry visual problems that could be susceptible to correct in time but that puts vision at serious risk, causing permanent impairment, which implies not only suffering from the disease, but also negatively affects the family, the community and the country
