RESUMEN
Se realizó estudio descriptivo de corte transversal para determinar la prevalencia de ambliopía refractiva en una población de niños entre 3 y 8 años atendidos en la Unidad de Pediatría del I.I.O. de la Universidad de la Salle, Bogotá. Fueron revisadas 5.077 historias clínicas de pacientes atendidos entre enero de 1.999 y diciembre de 2.001. Se seleccionaron 136 con diagnóstico de ambliopía refractiva lo que resulto en prevalencia del 2.68%.Al realizar el cruce de datos se encontró que cerca del 80% de los pacientes presentaba ambliopía leve (agudeza 0.5 o mayor) luego de haber usado su corrección mínimo durante un mes. Casi la totalidad (93% en promedio) presentó astigmatismo, más específicamente, hipermetrópico compuesto con la regla y mixto con la regla.
