Abstract

It was carried out a descriptive transversal study in patients with refractive disorders from the Ophthalmology Room at Celia Sánchez Manduley hospital in Manzanillo, during the period from January 2007 to January 2008. The sample was established by 66 patients from 15 to 55 years of both sexes with refractive disorders, including myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism. There were taking into account some variables like age and sex, and there were fulfilled some biometric studies of the ocular globus to determine the axial length (A.L) and the lens. The obtained results were gathered into a data process, showing them in tables. Finally, in the refractive default prevailed the A.L. from 23 to 24.99, being the astigmatism the most frequent mistake in females left eyes, in the ages from 36 to 55 years, and the lens from 4 to 4.99 m.m.
