Examen oftalmológico estándar - Riesgos

Nombres alternativos

Examen rutinario de los ojos; Examen ocular estándar

Cuáles son los riesgos:

Si la persona recibe gotas con el fin de dilatar los ojos para una oftalmoscopia, la visión se nubla y la luz del sol puede lesionar los ojos, por lo tanto, es necesario usar lentes oscuros o cubrir los ojos para evitar el malestar hasta que la dilatación desaparezca.

Consideraciones especiales:

Muchas enfermedades de la vista pueden ser curables o tratadas si se detectan a tiempo.
