Abstract
Nuestro trabajo se propuso determinar la prevalencia de baja visión y ceguera en el policlínico "Elpidio Berovides" en el municipio Lisa; así como conocer diferentes aspectos epidemiológicos relacionados con estas enfermedades. Se analizaron como variables: edad, sexo, antecedentes patológicos familiares (APF) y personales (APP), tanto oculares como generales, y por último las afectaciones psicosociales de estos pacientes. Estos datos se analizaron a través de tablas. Como resultado de nuestra investigación encontramos una tasa de prevalencia de baja visión de 230 x 100 000 hab y una tasa de ceguera de 40 x100 000 hab, afectándose principalmente los pacientes mayores de 60 años. Las principales causas de estas enfermedades fueron el glaucoma con un 16 %, la miopía degenerativa (14,8 %) y otras enfermedades de la retina. Todos los pacientes afectados presentaron limitaciones desde el punto de vista psicosocial.
