| Summary: | Low vision can be defined as an alteration in visual function
even after treatment or refractive correction, either glasses or
contact lenses (1). Currently, the pathologies that can cause
low vision and also cause changes in their quality of life are
known (2), therefore, it is relevant to know if these
pathologies are equally prevalent in Latin American countries
and if the risk factors to which this population is exposed are
related to the above. Objective: To analyze the causes and risk
factors that lead to low vision in different Latin American
countries through a bibliographic review. Results: The main
causes of low vision in Latin American countries were
cataract, uncorrected refractive error and glaucoma,
additionally it was determined that the most prevalent risk
factor is sociodemographic. Conclusions: Due to the risk
factors present in Latin America, the causes of low vision are
cataract and refractive error. |
