Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar el tamaño del disco óptico por tomografía de coherencia óptica (TCO), en una población mayor de 40 años, que asistió a control rutinario oftalmológico desde noviembre el 2015 a febrero del 2016 y que no tenían antecedentes conocidos de glaucoma ni de enfermedades sistémicas. Fueron incluidos en el estudio 52 pacientes que asistieron a la consulta externa de oftalmología de la Fundación Visión, por un examen de rutina. Se le diligenció una historia clínica completa, donde se indagaron los antecedentes patológicos tanto sistémicos como oculares. Se realizó la toma de la agudeza visual utilizando la cartilla de Snellen en cada ojo por separado a 6 metros del paciente, refracción automatizada, prueba refractiva, biomicroscopía en lámpara de hendidura con énfasis en la profundidad de la cámara anterior. Se excluyeron pacientes con cámaras anteriores pandas o estrechas (utilización de gonioscopio mirrow 4 mini) y presión intraocular elevada. Luego de la instilación de Tropicamida 0,5%/Fenilefrina HCL 5% en cada ojo y evaluación del polo posterior en lámpara de hendidura con lente de 90D Superfield, se realizó la Tomografía de coherencia óptica con el equipo The ZEISS Cirrus™ HD-TCO Model 4000 (Cirrus HD-TCO).
