Objective: to determine the prevalence and characterization of ectasias diagnosed by corneal topography in the Eye Clinic Solex Ltda. [Sucre - Bolivia] in the first half of 2013.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional observational study. The population were patients with corneal topography in the first half of 2013 at the Eye Clinic Solex Ltda.
Results: of 170 patients who entered the study 57.6% were female and 42.6% male. The minimum age was 7 years and maximum of 64 years with an average of 28.2 years; appearing more frequently patients 30 years [13 patients - 7.6%]. According to the topographic pattern it shows that 57.2% corresponds to the irregular shape, value of great significance. The lower display corresponds to the asymmetric bowtie [14 presentations].
Conclusions: in this study a difference between female gender [57.6%] and men [42.4%] of 15.2% was found. In terms of age distribution shows a range between 7 and 64 years. Of the 339 279 topographies that were made they had a great shot and 60 present a reduced quality due to lack of placido rings, however the team classifies with 97% of analyzed area [normal]. The prevalence of corneal ectasia in the Eye Clinic Solex Ltda. of Sucre, was 57.2%. Law 47.9% and 52.1% in the left eye on total of 339 tests, eye is important to note that it is a high prevalence
