Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Kırıkkale İli merkezindeki ilkokullarda çocukluk çağı göz hastalıkları sıklığını araştırmak ve geleceğe dönük olarak bir ölçüde koruyucu hekimlik yapmaktır. Çalışmanın yapıldığı yer: Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı Materyel-metod: Bu çalışma kesitsel (cross-sectional) olarak Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalınca Şubat 1999 ve Haziran 1999 tarihlerinde ilin sosyo-ekonomik ve kültürel değişik kesimlerini içeren 22 ilkokulun birinci sınıflarını kapsamaktadır. Rutin bir göz muayenesini takiben Snellen eşeli ile görme keskinliği 10/10 seviyesinin altında olanlar ve otorefraktometre ile refraksiyon kusuru saptananlara sikloplejik muayene yapıldı. Bulgular: Taramaya alınan öğrenci sayısı toplam 2386 kişi olup bunların 1106'sı kız, 1280'i erkektir. Bunlardan 222'si kız 293'ü erkek olmak üzere 515'inde (%21.58) oküler patoloji saptanmıştır. Sadece refraksiyon kusuru olanların tüm taranan öğrencilerdeki oranı ise %17.47'dir. Sadece refraksiyon kusuru bulunan 417 öğrenciden 19'unda miyopi (%4.55), 68'inde hipermetropi (%16.3), 330'unda astigmatizma bulunmuştur (%79). Diğer oküler patoloji saptanan 98 öğrencide (%4.10) ise bazılarında refraksiyon kusuru ile birlikte olmak üzere değişik oküler patolojiler saptanmıştır. Şaşılık ise tek başına ya da diğer patolojilerle birlikte olarak 58 kişi (%2.43) ile refraksiyon kusurlarından sonra en sık rastlanan bir diğer patolojidir. Nevüs 28 kişide (%1.17) tek başına ya da diğer patolojilerle görülebilen bir diğer sık rastlanan bulgudur. Ambliyopi oranı %1.21 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Önlenebilir körlük nedenleri çocuklarda görme azlığına yol açan hastalıkların başında gelmektedir. Buradan yola çıkarak aile, öğretmen, pratisyen hekim, çocuk ve göz doktorlarının konuya gösterecekleri duyarlılık ile ülkemiz koşullarında da başarılı çalışmalar yapılarak çocuklarımızın problemlerinin çözümünde gelişmiş ülkelerin standartlarına ulaşabiliriz.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to search the prevelance of eye diseases in childhood at the primary schools in Kırıkkale city center and, in a way, to perform protective medicine for future aspects. Institution: Kırıkkale University, Faculty of Medicine, Dept. of Ophthalmology. Materials and Methods: This study covers the first classes of 22 primary schools, having children from various socioeconomical and cultural parts of the city, between the dates February 99 - June 99. Following a routine eye examination those who were below the 10/10 visual acuity as diagnosed with Snellen acuity chart and found to have a refraction error with autorefractometer had been examined with a cycloplegic. Results: The number of students that had been involved in the screening was a total of 2386, out of which 1106 were girls and 1280 were boys. In 515 of them (21.6%), who were 222 girls and 293 boys, some type of ocular pathology had been determined. Those who had only refractive error rated 17.47% among the overall students screened. Of 417 students having only refractive errors 19 (4.55%), 68 (16.30%) and 330 (79%) were myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatisma respectively. In the other 98 (4%) students some different types of ocular pathologies along with refraction errors in some of them had been determined. And the strabismus was another pathology frequent among the refraction errors found in the students as 58 in number (2.43%) either solely or together with other pathologies. Nevus, another frequent one, was identified in 28 students (1.2%) again either solely or together with some other pathologies. The rate of amblyopia was found as 1.2%. Conclusion: The reasons of preventable blindness are the main diseases causing poor vision in children. We, keeping this in mind, can reach the standards of developed countries in handling the health problems of our children by conducting succesful screening activities in our country with respect to the sensitivity to be displayed by the families, teachers, practioners, pediatricians and ophthalmologists.
