Para las personas que no están especializadas en este
Para las personas que no están especializadas en este tema, una buena visión es simplemente la capacidad del ser humano para ver, con nitidez y en detalle, objetos situados a una distancia lejana. Esta capacidad es lo que suele denominarse como agudeza visual. Sin embargo, la definición de visión de los seres humanos es más compleja de lo que parece ya que es el proceso de información de todos los objetos que se encuentran en nuestro espacio visual con la finalidad de equilibrarnos con nuestro entorno. Una buena visión no significa solamente que la persona tiene una agudeza del 100% sino que es una destreza aprendida 1 mientras se desarrolla el niño que le permite obtener información, identificarla, interpretarla y comprender lo que está viendo. En la obtención de tal información intervienen procesos motores, ópticos y sensoriales cuyas funciones se han de desarrollar de forma coordinada y precisa. En condiciones normales el proceso de la información visual de los objetos (visión), depende de su localización en el espacio con respecto al entorno o en relación con nuestro cuerpo; de la alineación adecuada de los ejes visuales (convergencia) sobre cada objeto para fijarlo con la fóvea de ambas retinas; de la estimulación de puntos y áreas correspondientes entre una retina y la otra; del análisis del brillo, color y forma de los objetos, y finalmente, del proceso de unificación o de fusión de las dos sensaciones procedentes de cada retina, previamente elaboradas. Los padres de familia deben concienciarse en el hecho de que no es suficiente, aunque necesario, que sus niños tengan los ojos estructuralmente sanos, sino que deben estar seguros de que su sistema visual funciona con el rendimiento adecuado. En otras palabras, no es suficiente que el niño vea las letras más pequeñas a una gran distancia, sino que sea capaz de interpretar lo que ve, o que sea capaz de obtener el significado real de lo que observa. Al nacer, nuestro organismo parece poseer ciertas capacidades genéticas dotadas: 1. Una retina intacta y anatómicamente dividida en cuadrantes. La zona retiniana en donde se obtiene la máxima agudeza visual, denominada fóvea, es incompleta y no entra en funcionamiento total hasta las dieciséis semanas de vida. Por lo tanto la visión de un recién nacido es borrosa y no puede discriminar los colores. 2 2. Los globos oculares son capaces de rotar dentro de sus órbitas de forma burda, por lo que los movimientos de los ojos no suelen ser uniformes ni eficaces. 3. La capacidad para cambiar la focalización tampoco está totalmente desarrollada. Por lo tanto, se tiene que aprender a localizar los objetos con precisión para obtener el significado real de los mismos. Con algo tan importante para sobrevivir como los ojos y la visión, tendrán que hacerse previsiones para conseguir un desarrollo más eficaz. Por lo general es lo que suele ocurrir pero también es posible que por factores ambientales y el empleo inadecuado de los ojos, el desarrollo de la función visual no llegue a ser adecuado, con lo que el niño observará menos, verá menos, recordará menos, aprenderá menos y por lo general llegará a ser menos eficiente. La visión depende de un conjunto de habilidades que los seres humanos no heredan de la información genética sino que tienen que ser aprendidas. Si la función visual es un proceso que se aprende, es evidente que puede reducarse recibiendo el niño terapias visuales optométricas basadas en la fisiología ocular. Ciertas actividades escolares ponen a prueba el funcionamiento del sistema visual para elaborar información de símbolos (letras, números, dibujos, etc.) y objetos que se encuentran situados a diferentes distancias en su mundo visual espacial. En las aulas de los colegios de EGB las principales distancias empleadas para realizar tareas escolares son las del encerado y del pupitre. Cuando el maestro escribe palabras o números sobre el encerado, el niño tiene que dirigir adecuadamente cada uno de sus ojos con la finalidad de centrar los ejes visuales sobre dichos símbolos. En esta actividad, los ojos deberán realizar con eficacia y uniformidad movimientos sacádicos y de seguimientos. Estos 3 movimientos son necesarios para que el niño pueda leer con rapidez y comprender lo que lee o lo que escribe. Sirven para permitir al niño relacionarse visualmente con su entorno. Los movimientos sacádicos son los cambios de fijación de los ojos cuando se pasa de un objeto a otro, de una letra a otra, de una palabra a otra, o como cuando se mira de lejos a cerca y viceversa. La velocidad y comprensión en la lectura depende considerablemente de estos movimientos. Un niño de tercer grado de EGB debe ser capaz de leer 115 palabras por minuto, mientras que otro del séptimo grado debe leer 215. Si un niño de cuarto grado no es capaz de leer 160 palabras por minuto, puede considerarse como lector lento. Los lectores muy lentos por lo general suelen ejecutar movimientos oculares sacádicos de letra a letra. Después de la localización de los símbolos u objetos de interés, deberá ponerse en marcha el mecanismo de focalización para obtener la visión nítida de aquéllos. De esta forma el sistema visual obtiene datos que después de ser trasmitidos desde la retina de ambos ojos mediante impulsos eléctricos codificados alcanzan las áreas sensitivas de la información visual y el niño podrá obtener el significado de lo que ve, esto es, identificar las palabras u objetos mirados. Al mismo tiempo que el niño presta atención a las palabras escritas en el encerado y a lo que escribe en su cuaderno también deberá ser consciente de los objetos que se encuentran alrededor de sus tareas escolares para relacionarlos con su propio cuerpo y poder orientarse con más eficacia. Durante la realización de las tareas escolares el niño debe aprender a relacionar la visión con el resto de los otros sentidos. Entre los sistemas de la visión y de la antigravedad existe una relación muy importante. Cuando los ojos no se dirigen por igual 4 hacia un objeto mientras se lee o se escribe, el resto del cuerpo queda desequilibrado distorsionándose la percepción visual. Asimismo, si no se equilibra la postura la coordinación de los dos ojos se ve afectada y también la percepción. Causas que pueden producir problemas visuales y oculares Entre las causas posibles que pueden dar lugar a problemas de los ojos y visuales se encuentran las siguientes: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. La coordinación e integración inadecuada del cuerpo Las posturas incorrectas Los movimientos oculares inadecuados Las destrezas visuales desarrolladas deficientemente Los factores ambientales Si los dos lados del cuerpo están pobremente integrados, esta condición puede producir problemas en la ejecución binocular de los ojos. La coordinación e integración inadecuadas del cuerpo pueden producir dificultades en la direccionalidad que se traducen por confusiones al escribir o leer “b” por “d”, “p” por “q”, etc. Una integración incompleta de ambas partes del cuerpo puede dar lugar a problemas de visión binocular y al desarrollo de anisometropías, condiciones que dificultan el aprendizaje del niño. La postura es el esquema básico del movimiento de los ojos y del que deben desarrollarse otros movimientos. Los ajustes posturales son básicos y en el organismo son los más rígidos que se encuentran. Los ajustes posturales tienen dos objetivos. En primer lugar, a través de la postura conseguimos mantener una orientación constante con la superficie de la tierra y con el ambiente que nos rodea. En segundo lugar, los mecanismos posturales nos permiten responder con rapidez y eficacia a los efectos de la gravedad. Como resultado de tensiones innecesarias 5 y encorvamiento del cuerpo mientras el niño escribe, suelen desarrollarse problemas visuales además de perder su habilidad de expresar espontáneamente su potencial de creatividad, y de aprender a odiar la lectura. Una escritura incorrecta puede ser producida por problemas de acomodación ocular, dificultades en la coordinación de las manos con los ojos y a una deficiente organización espacial. Muchos jóvenes que nunca aprendieron a escribir con facilidad y que están obligados a realizar esta tarea por necesidad, suelen manifestar las distorsiones y síntomas siguientes: 1. Posturas distorsionadas del cuerpo a. Un hombro más alto que el otro b. Caderas giradas c. Una pierna funcionalmente más larga que la otra 2. Dificultades con la orientación espacial a. Pérdida de la percepción de profundidad b. Dificultad para utilizar ambos ojos a la vez c. Problemas de enfoque visual que impide ver nítido d. La visión de un ojo es peor que la del otro 3. Síntomas subjetivos: a. Dolor de cabeza b. Dolores en la nuca y en los hombros c. Somnolencia d. Molestias generales e. Irritación consigo mismo y con sus compañeros Mientras un niño escribe podemos observar los comportamientos siguientes: 1. Su cabeza se inclina excesivamente hacia un lado, hacia la izquierda si es diestro, y hacia la derecha si es zurdo 6 2. Su cabeza queda muy cerca del papel, con lo que uno de sus ojos también quedará excesivamente cerca de la tarea 3. Su papel queda situado a un lado de la línea media de su cuerpo. El niño diestro sitúa el papel a la derecha de su línea media, mientras que el niño zurdo hacia la izquierda. 4. El niño sostiene el lápiz excesivamente cerca de su punta La inclinación de la cabeza, el sentarse cerca del papel, el mantenimiento del papel hacia un lado, y la tensión creada por esta postura inconveniente es producida por el asimiento incorrecto del lápiz o del bolígrafo. Cuando el niño sostiene el lápiz cerca de su punta se ve obligado a inclinar la cabeza y acercarse excesivamente al papel con el objeto de ver dicho extremo del lápiz al escribir. Como resultado de tensiones creadas por posturas desequilibradas, como la inclinación de la cabeza compulsiva, como cuando se sostiene un lápiz inadecuadamente, el sistema visual del niño puede reaccionar así: 1. Dejar de utilizar uno de los ojos, produciéndose una ambliopía u ojo vago 2. Producir una miopía en un solo ojo, con la consecuencia de una anisometropía (diferente visión entre ambos ojos) 3. Disminuir la eficacia de la visión binocular (empleo de los dos ojos de forma coordinada) 4. Inducir un astigmatismo de pequeño grado pero fatigante en visión de cerca al leer prolongadamente 5. Restringir el proceso de elaboración de los datos visuales 6. Desarrollar problemas visuales y oculares combinados El desarrollo inadecuado de los movimientos oculares (de fijación, sacádicos y de seguimientos) puede producir muchos problemas de rendimiento escolar de los niños. Así si los ojos no 7 siguen correctamente un objeto en movimiento pueden producirse durante el acto de la lectura y de la escritura los comportamientos siguientes: 1. Inversiones de las letras 2. Desorientación. Pérdida del lugar. Se salta líneas del texto 3. Omisiones de letras, palabras o frases 4. Velocidad lenta en la lectura 5. Relee filas del texto 6. Lee ayudándose del dedo 7. Comprensión pobre de lo que se lee 8. Mal espaciado de las letras 9. Movimiento de la cabeza excesivo 10. Incapacidad para disociar el movimiento de los ojos con el movimiento de la cabeza 11. Coordinación de los ojos con las manos desorganizada El rastreo ocular es un proceso que determina dónde estamos mirando o el movimiento del ojo con respecto de la cabeza. Durante la lectura se ejecutan movimientos de fijación, sacádicos y de seguimiento. Cuando leemos nuestros ojos ejecutan saltos que van de una letra a otra que está distanciada una distancia equivalente al espacio de al menos 7 letras. Durante la lectura los ojos no se desplazan de forma continua a lo largo de una fila de letras sino que lo hacen ejecutando movimientos rápidos cortos (sacádicos) entremezclados con detenciones cortas (fijación ocular). El niño cuyos ojos saltan de una letra a la siguiente es un lector lento. Si los movimientos oculares son irregulares e imprecisos el niño tendrá problemas de velocidad de la lectura. En estas condiciones se producirán regresiones innecesarias (retroceder para releer lo ya leído), movimientos oculares arrítmicos que disminuyen la fluidez de las fijaciones oculares, y 8 rastreos de retorno defectuosos de una fila a otra. Si los seguimientos binoculares verticales a lo largo de la línea media son incorrectos probablemente existan problemas en la integración de ambos lados del cuerpo. Aunque el aprendizaje se realiza en el cerebro una electronistagmografía demuestra que los movimientos oculares que no están coordinados en los niños tienen dificultades para leer. Sin embargo, experimentos recientes demuestran que es el grado de comprensión lo que produce el tipo de movimiento ocular. Destreza visual es la capacidad para realizar una tarea que requiere del uso del sistema visual. Es un atributo que representa un aspecto dado de una función que puede ser visual, ocular, o extraocular. Las destrezas visuales son funciones viso-motoras y percepto-motoras que suelen desarrollarse funcionalmente después del nacimiento, o durante el desarrollo del niño. Es la capacidad de una persona para seguir un objeto grande y brillante de lado a lado o de arriba abajo sin saltos, nistagmo o convergencia, y para discriminar entra varias formas básicas y colores. Destrezas visuales es un término en el que se incluyen todos los elementos neuro musculares y perceptuales que juntos dan lugar a la imagen psíquica denominada eidolon. Las destrezas visuales no están limitadas a los elementos neuromusculares y neurosensoriales del ojo y la retina sino que integra estímulos y respuestas de aspectos sensoriales y funciones neurocognitivas. Las destrezas visuales implican los esfuerzos combinados de los ojos, párpados, músculos extraoculares e intraoculares, varios nervios craneales, vías corticales y subcorticales, conexión del tronco del encéfalo o tallo cerebral con el cordón espinal, núcleos subcorticales, audición, cinestesia y propriocepción, y equilibrio. Los elementos funcionales de las destrezas visuales incluyen los movimientos de vergencia, coordinación binocular, sacádicos, seguimientos, acomodación, localización y fijación de los objetos, 9 organización espacial, percepción de formas u objetos, memoria visual, atención visual, y la capacidad para integrar la información visual con otros estímulos sensoriales. Entre las destrezas visuales y perceptuales se encuentran: 1. Agudeza visual. Es la capacidad para ver con nitidez objetos o símbolos que se encuentran a distancias próximas o lejanas. Es un atributo exclusivamente de la visión central o foveolar. 2. Binocularidad. Es la capacidad para emplear con uniformidad, eficacia y simultáneamente ambos ojos a la vez. 3. Cierre visual. Es la capacidad para identificar un estímulo visual partiendo de una información visual incompleta. 4. Destrezas perceptomotoras. Es la capacidad para procesar información visual y utilizarla. Ayudan a planificar, coordinar y guiar los movimientos de los ojos y del cuerpo. 5. Destrezas visomotoras. Es la capacidad para percibir con exactitud y luego reproducir figuras. Controlan los movimientos de los ojos (sacádicos y seguimiento), las fijaciones oculares, la acomodación (enfoque ocular), y las vergencias (convergencia y divergencia). 6. Destrezas visual perceptual. Es la capacidad de la mente y de los ojos para ver algo que objetivamente existe. Entre ellas se encuentra la capacidad para discriminar características destacadas en objetos diferentes como la posición, formas y colores. 7. Discriminación figura-fondo. Es la capacidad para prestar atención visualmente al estímulo designado y no ser distraído por el fondo sobre el que se encuentra el estímulo. Sirve para distinguir un objeto de su fondo. 8. Direccionalidad. Se relaciona con la proyección de la lateralidad al espacio externo 10 9. Discriminación visual. Es la capacidad para discernir visualmente similitudes y diferencias. 10. Discriminación perceptual auditiva. Es la capacidad para discriminar entre pares de palabras diferentes en un simple fonema 11. Fijación visual. Es la capacidad para mantener la mirada sobre un punto del espacio, letra, palabra, u objeto. Es importante para la lectura. 12. Flexibilidad acomodativa. Es la capacidad para variar el enfoque de los objetos observados desde lejos a cerca y viceversa, sin experimentar visión borrosa. La acomodación ocular puede estimularse o relajarse con facilidad. 13. Integración visomotora. Es la capacidad para combinar estímulos visuales con otros estímulos sensoriales, como la coordinación de los ojos con las manos y los pies. La coordinación ojo-mano es importante para la lectura, mientras que la coordinación ojo-pie es importante para el equilibrio y la realización de deportes. 14. Lateralidad. Se relaciona con la concienciación de los dos lados del cuerpo 15. Memoria visual. Es la capacidad para almacenar y recuperar información que se ha obtenido con un estímulo visual. 16. Percepción en profundidad. Es la habilidad visual para ver en tres dimensiones, calcular eficazmente las distancias, y reaccionar con rapidez. 17. Percepción visual. Es la capacidad para identificar, organizar e interpretar estímulos sensoriales recibidos por una persona a través del sistema visual. 18. Seguimiento visual. Es la capacidad visual para seguir eficazmente con los ojos objetos en movimiento de forma lisa, sin detenciones. Permite terminar una tarea visual con rapidez 11 19. Visión periférica. Es la habilidad para controlar la visión de los objetos que se encuentran alrededor de un objeto particular sobre el que se mantiene la fijación bifoveal, esto es, para percibir lo que está ocurriendo alrededor del niño mientras atiende a una tarea visual central específica. 20. Visomotor. Capacidad para relacionar estímulos visuales con respuestas motoras de forma apropiada 21. Visualización. Es la destreza para formar imágenes mentales, retener o almacenarlas en nuestra memoria para futuras demandas, o para sintetizarlas en otras nuevas. Si las destrezas visuales no se han desarrollado adecuadamente, el niño suele tener una pobre organización espacial con la que tendrá problemas en la lectura y dificultades binoculares que dan lugar a molestias e ineficacia visuales. Si se tiene una binocularidad inestable, después de la realización de tareas visuales prolongadas y concentradas en visión próxima uno de sus ojos puede localizar un objeto en un plano diferente al de localización del otro ojo que está observando el mismo objeto. Tales señales de confusión pueden dar lugar a: 1. Dolores de cabeza, especialmente cerca de los ojos o en la frente, y a veces en la parte posterior de la cabeza. 2. Diplopía. Momentáneamente se ven dos objetos cuando sólo existe uno. 3. Rendimiento reducido. Se manifiesta por la desorientación del niño mientras lee, y por hecho de que siempre que lee debe repetir la misma línea del texto porque no se acuerda de lo que ha leído. 4. Fatiga visual e incomodidad. Al terminar las tareas escolares, el niño experimenta tensión, estrés y dolor del cuerpo. 12 5. Supresión. Puede bloquearse la información que se envía al cerebro por uno de los ojos para evitar ver doble. Si el problema visual no es atendido a tiempo por el profesional sanitario especializado, la condición empeorará paulatinamente. Cuando se trabaja a distancias cortas, como durante el acto de la lectura y la escritura, el estrés visual que resulta de actividades visuales compulsivas, concentradas y realizadas a una distancia menor que la longitud del brazo del niño, puede producir la mayoría de los problemas antes indicados. El estrés visual puede dar lugar a las siguientes adaptaciones negativas del sistema visual: 1. Ver con nitidez y comodidad de cerca pero borroso e incómodo de lejos. 2. Ver mal de lejos y de cerca 3. Desviar los ojos 4. Tener un ojo vago que no puede mejorar con lentes 5. Ver distorsionados los objetos 6. Fallar la coordinación de la visión con los movimientos del cuerpo. 13 Figura 1. Acercamiento excesivo de una niña al material de escritura. Este acercamiento excesivamente de los ojos al papel da lugar a un estrés en el mecanismo de focalización produciendo una hiperacomodación ocular y fatiga del músculo ciliar. La consecuencia de este comportamiento erróneo puede inducir a la miopía sin que la niña haya heredado esta condición Figura 2. Se observa una postura inadecuada de una niña ya que inclina la cabeza para escribir, dando lugar a que uno de los ojos quede más cerca del papel que el otro. La consecuencia puede ser una visión distinta entre ambos ojos, pudiendo inducirse una anisometropía o un astigmatismo 14 Figura 3. Se observa un niño adoptando posturas inadecuadas no solamente de los ojos sino también de la cabeza, manos, y del cuerpo. En estas condiciones pueden producirse miopías funcionales, anisometropía y ambliopía. Figura 4. Se observa una niña prácticamente apoyando un lado de la cabeza sobre la mesa de trabajo escolar. En estas condiciones es muy probable que el ojo izquierdo no esté proporcionando información al sistema visual y se produzca una ambliopía, esto es, que el ojo izquierdo se haga vago. 15 Figura 5. Se observa que la niña agarra el lápiz muy cerca de la punta. Esta postura obliga a la niña a inclinar la cabeza hasta que sus ojos puedan ver la punta del lápiz, pudiendo dar lugar a un acercamiento excesivo de uno de sus ojos al papel. Consecuentemente, puede producirse un astigmatismo o una visión diferente de uno de los ojos con respecto al otro. Figura 6. Se observa que el escolar no solamente tiene sus ojos muy cerca del papel sino que además el pelo de su cabeza le impide desarrollar su visión periférica, atributo muy importante para el desarrollo de la integración de todo el cuerpo, para 16 responder espontáneamente a las actividades muscular y visual, para el uso efectivo de los mecanismos de retroacción, para tener libertad en el control del movimiento de las partes del cuerpo, y para conseguir libertad en los sistemas del lenguaje. La visión periférica es un atributo de supervivencia. Higiene visual Higiene es un término que significa limpieza y en general se aplica a la conservación de la salud del individuo y prevención de disfunciones y enfermedades. Conlleva aspectos como aseo, limpieza, posturas, etc. La higiene puede ser ocular, oral, auditiva, personal, intestinal, industrial, ocupacional, etc. La higiene ocular, que no debe confundirse con la higiene visual, son normas aplicadas a la limpieza de rebordes palpebrales y pestañas para proteger la parte anterior externa del globo ocular de infecciones, empleando para ello baños oftálmicos, geles oftálmicos, colirios oftálmicos, toallitas estériles, etc. En otras palabras, son normas o recomendaciones para preservar las estructuras de los ojos. En cambio la higiene visual son hábitos recomendados para preservar la funcionalidad del sistema visual evitando que se produzcan distorsiones, aberraciones y disfunciones que pueden impedir la realización cómoda de tareas visuales a todas las distancias, especialmente de cerca como durante el acto de la lectura. Con el objeto de prevenir que se produzcan miopías, anisometropías, ambliopías y estrabismos, debido a una falta de coordinación corporal, posturas incorrectas, destrezas visuales inadecuadas, movimientos oculares imprecisos e irregulares, y a factores ambientales tales como una iluminación inadecuada del material de tareas escolares ( o cualquiera que se realice a distancias próximas) y de su entorno, a nutrición inadecuada, y a espacios cerrados que delimitan considerablemente la funcionalidad correcta del sistema visual, tanto los padres de 17 familia como los maestros de colegios de EGB deben conocer, aplicar y recomendar normas de comportamiento que todos los niños escolares deberán seguir como hábitos para mantener, conservar y potenciar la funcionalidad óptima del sistema visual. De este cuidado funcional dependerá el rendimiento no solamente visual sino intelectual del niño. La higiene visual es una estrategia que educadores, pediatras, optometristas y oftalmólogos deberían recomendar a los padres de familia para evitar que los niños escolares adquieran problemas visuales. Desde 1975 el autor de este trabajo ha recomendado y publicado (Higiene visual escolar. Editorial Puntex, Barcelona, Otoño de 1989) las siguientes normas de comportamiento en la realización de tareas visuales escolares de cerca: 1. Procurar que la sala de tareas escolares esté bien aireada y evitar que la temperatura ambiental sea elevada 2. Procurar que la iluminación sobre la tarea escolar sea tres veces mayor que la iluminación ambiental de la sala o habitación, la cual nunca deberá estar oscurecida 18 3. Procurar que el material de lectura siempre quede situado en un plano que forme 20º con respecto al plano de la mesa o escritorio. 4. Procurar que la mesa de trabajo quede situada para que el niño trabaje a espacio abierto, lo que se consigue si aquél queda situado enfrente de una ventana 19 5. Evitar que sobre la mesa de trabajo, además del material de lectura y escritura utilizados, existan otros objetos desordenados que impidan realizar las tareas con comodidad 6. Procurar que la altura de la silla y de la mesa permitan al niño mantener la planta de ambos pies apoyada totalmente sobre el suelo, el cuerpo recto, el pecho erguido y los hombros ligeramente hacia atrás, para que ambos ojos queden situados a la misma distancia de la tarea 20 7. Evitar que los ojos reciban directamente la luz de las bombillas de las lámparas empleadas para iluminar la mesa. Esto se consigue empleando dos lámparas que cubran las bombillas, una a cada lado del niño, consiguiéndose así una iluminación uniforme 8. Evitar que el niño escriba de forma que la mano, el brazo o la cabeza produzcan sombras sobre lo que escribe 21 9. Evitar que el niño gire el tronco e incline la cabeza mientras escribe o lee. Esto puede dar lugar a astigmatismos, anisometropías y ambliopías inducidas por posturas inadecuadas 10. Evitar que el niño se acerque excesivamente al material de lectura o escritura, ya que puede dar lugar a una miopía funcional. La distancia a la que deben quedar simétricamente situados ambos ojos ha de ser igual a la 22 distancia que existe entre el codo y el nudillo del dedo medio de uno de sus brazos. 11. Evitar que el niño agarre el lápiz de forma que los dedos pulgar, índice y medio queden situados muy cerca de la punta del lápiz o bolígrafo. Este comportamiento obligará al niño a inclinar la cabeza para que sus ojos puedan ver la punta del lápiz, distorsionando la percepción visual 12. Evitar que el niño, mientras lee, escribe o presta atención a lo que otras personas le están hablando, ignore 23 visualmente la presencia de otros objetos que se encuentran en su mundo visual espacial a. Si lee, deberá concienciarse de la existencia de todo el libro y de todos los objetos que se encuentran en la sala. Si no es así, su mundo visual llegará a ser pequeño porque no tiene visión periférica b. Si escribe, deberá concienciarse de la existencia del lápiz, el papel, la mesa, y de todos los otros objetos que se encuentran en la sala 24 c. Si está viendo la TV, deberá concienciarse de la existencia no solamente de la pantalla, sino de todo el televisor y de todos los demás objetos que se encuentran en la sala 13. Evitar que el niño realice tareas escolares prolongadamente por más de 30 minutos sin descansar 5 minutos. No realizar descansos periódicos producirá la pérdida de la atención del niño y el rendimiento será bajo 25 14. Evitar que cuando el niño lea lo haga moviendo la cabeza. Los ojos son los únicos que deben ejecutar movimientos sacádicos con regularidad y eficacia 15. Evitar que el niño vea la TV con la sala oscurecida 26 16. Evitar que la luz ambiental produzca reflejos sobre la pantalla del TV 17. Evitar que el niño vea la TV más de 2 horas ya que esta actividad puede reducir su capacidad para pensar y crear 27 18. Evitar que el niño vea la TV acostado sobre el sofá o sobre el suelo 19. Evitar que el niño lea acostado en la cama 28 20. Procurar que la nutrición del niño sea adecuada, siguiendo las recomendaciones del especialista. Según muchos investigadores parece ser que el glaucoma y la catarata están relacionados con las vitaminas, minerales y proteínas deficientes 29 21. Procurar que los ojos del niño ejecuten adecuados movimientos de fijación y de seguimientos, así como tener una excelente flexibilidad para enfocar a múltiples distancias de forma rápida y con comodidad 22. Procurar que el niño tenga relajado diariamente su cuerpo 30 Referencias Principales 1.
