Introduction: Refractive errors can have important repercussions in the performance of an individual, especially in the pediatric community. Objective: To determine the prevalence of refractive errors within a sample of 112 children between the ages of 2 and 14 from the Colegio La Candelaria in the city of Bogotá. Methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated through visual acuity, ocular motility, ophthalmoscopy, retinoscopy, and subjective exam, the visual capacity of the children in question. Results: We found a prevalence of refractive errors of 18.8% where 13.4% represented astigmatism, 3.6% hypermetropia and 1.8% myopia. Discussion: These results were compared with those exposed on a thesis performed in 1973 by which patients with sim...
