The patient's parents report that when the corrective lenses were placed, her vision improved but 6 months later they began to notice that the patient collided with the buildings of the home, especially at night. After taking the respective anamnesis, it was discovered that the patient acquired degenerative myopia from her maternal grandfather; the visual evaluations of the patient were carried out and she was referred to the ophthalmologist for a second opinion on the case.

El presente caso clínico nos anuncia sobre la importancia de valorar la visión desde muy corta edad ya que así se pueden diagnosticar patologías oculares a tiempo y poder ofrecer el tratamiento necesario. En esta caso una paciente de 5 años, la cual fue llevada a consulta por disminución de la visión nocturna asociada a una miopía degenerativa ya corregida. Los progenitores de la paciente refieren a que cuando se le colocaron los lentes correctores su visión mejoró pero 6 meses después comenzaron a notar que la paciente chocaba con los inmuebles del hogar en especial por las noches. Después de realizar la respectiva anamnesis se descubrió que por parte del abuelo materno adquirió la miopía degenerativa; se cumplieron las valoraciones visuales a la paciente y se la derivó al oftalmólogo para una segunda opinión sobre el caso. Luego de acudir a la cita con el oftalmólogo, regresa al consultorio con los resultados de los exámenes visuales que le realizaron. Arrojando como diagnostico una Ceguera nocturna congénita estacionaria la cual es un conjunto de trastornos de la retina no progresivos. Con el único tratamiento de corregir la graduación en los lentes y colocar en las mismos filtros selectivos para baja visión.
