ABSTRACT

Objective: to identify the frequency and type of ocular problems in pediatric patients with sensorineural deafness, in a national reference center for hearing problems in Guatemala. Material and methods: cross-sectional and prospective study carried out in 24 patients younger than 14 years with sensorineural hearing loss. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination. Results: age ranged from two to 13 years, and most were male (n = 17, 70.8%). Of the total, 15 patients (62.5%) presented ocular problems; of which, 11 patients presented refractive defects, six strabismus, and six minor findings in the anterior segment and in ocular adnexa. Conclusion: children with sensorineural deafness have ocular problems that require identification and treatment, so it is recommended to perform an ophthalmological evaluation as soon as possible.
