ABSTRACT

Foundation: population’s knowledge about risk factors and how to implement preventive measures to avoid the appearance of eye diseases is vital to preserve a good ocular health.
Objective: to determine the knowledge about risk factors and ocular disease prevention patients treated in the Cienfuegos Province.
Methods: descriptive study about 300 patients older than 18 years who came to the ophthalmology consultation in Cienfuegos, from January to March 2016. They were applied a survey which included variables as: age, sex, profession so as aspects related to the knowledge they have about risk factors and prevention of ocular diseases.
Results: the female sex predominated, age older than 50 years and the group of professionals. The most attentive to eye disease prevention were the elderly and women. The surveyed patients presume to have knowledge about eye disease prevention, but there is a high ignorance about the actions for visual organ preservation with good health, mainly the two bases of prevention: sun protection and specialist visit.
Conclusions: there is still ignorance of risk factors and importance of eye disease prevention. In spite of the visual function relevance in the current society, eyes are not object of enough preventive measures.
