Introduction: the use of hard contact lenses is a highly used option in our hospitals to correct refractive defects, a fundamental cause of visual limitation in the province.
Objective: to describe the visual results in patients with contact lenses by ametropias in Pinar del Río.
Method: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital in Pinar del Río during 2015. Target Group: 210 patients needing contact lenses, sample: 192 patients (353 eyes) with ametropias of more than 2 diopters corrected with hard contact lens. The descriptive statistics was used.
Results: 72% were female patients, ages from 4 to 20 prevailed (53.6%). The most frequent refractive defect was myopic astigmatism with a total of 267 eyes (75.6%). The uncorrected visual acuity of 0.3 or less (96.9%) prevailed in the different age groups, showing a significant improvement after the use of the contact lenses, a better corrected visual acuity was obtained above this value in 97.3% of the cases and in all age groups, the average was 0.890 ± 0.20.
Conclusion: the use of hard contact lenses was more frequent in young women with combined myopic astigmatism, and the results were satisfactory evidenced by a better corrected visual acuity.
