ABSTRACT

Foundation: the incidence of ametropies, mainly miopía, is increasing worldwide. Non-compensated refractive defects are the first cause of visual deficiency and the second of blindness in the world.
Objective: to characterize patients with ametropies.
Methods: descriptive study which included 2891 cases in the Ophthalmology consultation in Fogo Island, Green Cape, between November 2015 and 2017, who were surveyed including age and sex. All of them had an ophthalmological exam to determine if amblyopia was present. Visual acuteness with or without correction was determined, so as ametropy.
Results: ametropy was detected in 59.6%, the femile sex and the age group between 21 and 41 years old were the most representative. Out of them, 4.9% had amblyopia, the highest percent of the patients presented a rank of good vision, (from 0,7-1,0) predominating ametropies with cylindrical component and from them with highest frequency compound hypermetropic astigmatism and myopic simple and compound.
Conclusion: the incidence of ametropies was elevated, with higher representation of defects of cylindrical component. An improvement was achieved once corrected.
