ABSTRACT

The myopia represents one of the refractive defects more frequently found in an ophthalmologic consultation. The repercussion of heredity, and environmental factors conform “the miopiagenic set” that favors its increase. With the aim of determining the influence of epidemiological factors upon the progress of short sightedness refractive defect, a prospective and descriptive observational study was carried out to patients with myopia who went to the consultation of refractive surgery of the Ophthalmological Center in Ciego de Ávila from September 2009 to January 2010. There were selected 51 patients who suffer from myopia, which subjective medical examination were conducted in order to diagnose the type of refractive defect, and they also apply a questionnaire that covered variables of interest for the investigation. It was observed a predominance of white females, and young patients; the more frequent refractive defect was the composed myopic astigmatism and the moderate spherical equivalent. The heredity, the near visual activity, the predisposed occupation and the elevated educational level were the most frequent epidemiology factors.
