ABSTRACT

Background: suffering from non-communicable chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes increases the risk of contracting eye diseases.
Objective: to determine refractive errors in hypertensive and / or diabetic students, teachers and workers at the University of Medical Sciences of Cienfuegos.
Methods: descriptive study carried out between January 2017 and the same month of 2018, which included 64 patients who presented a personal pathological history of arterial hypertension and / or diabetes mellitus, in which the presence or absence of refractive errors was determined. The data were obtained by ophthalmological examination.
Results: the most affected age group was 50 years and over; the female sex predominated, the most prevalent refractive errors were compound hyperopic astigmatism and presbyopia; hypertensive patients prevailed. The most indicated optical correction was progressive lenses; the patients who attended the consultation the most were teachers.
Conclusions: the detection and characterization of patients diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension in consultation is necessary for a better control of the ocular health status.
