Resumo: dc.description.abstractObjective: To know the prevalence of patients diagnosed with cataracts in the ophthalmology outpatient clinic and identify their profile. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out by analyzing the records of the ophthalmology outpatient clinic at Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Vitória (HSCMV). The total sample corresponds to 214 patients treated and who were diagnosed with cataracts and whether or not they were indicated for surgery between January 2021 and 2022. After analyzing the medical records, those who were diagnosed with cataracts were selected and the following variables were separated: age, gender, race, origin, smoking, comorbidities (systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus) and medications in use. Results and conclusion: The study obtained an average age of 68 years, with a prevalence of females, with 65.2% of cases. Furthermore, 72% of participants were located in the metropolitan region. Regarding comorbidities, there is a greater relationship between the disease and hypertension. A greater number of cases of bilateral cataracts were observed, representing 89.4% of the patients analyzed. In the smoking variable, 49.4% have had some contact with cigarettes. The study was important in helping to recognize the profile of patients with cataracts, with results similar to those reported in the literature.pt_BR
