ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito describir la posible influencia de los factores de riesgo aterosclerótico (tabaquismo, hipertensión arterial y diabetes mellitus) en las enfermedades oftalmológicas: glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto, catarata, retinopatía diabética e hipertensiva, y degeneración macular asociada a la edad. Se realizó una búsqueda sistematizada en las bases de datos Scielo, Sciencedirect y Elsevier. El tabaquismo aumenta el riesgo de padecer, y acelera la progresión, tanto del glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto como de la catarata, la retinopatía diabética e hipertensiva y la degeneración macular asociada a la edad. La hipertensión arterial y la diabetes mellitus, además de conducir a las retinopatías correspondientes, también incrementan la probabilidad de desarrollar glaucoma primario de ángulo abierto, y son considerados factores de mal pronóstico al favorecer su progresión. El control del tabaquismo, de la hipertensión y de la diabetes mellitus mejorará el pronóstico de estas afecciones oftalmológicas, y en algunos casos evitará o retardará su aparición(AU)


The purpose of the present work is to describe the possible influence of the atherosclerotic risk factors (smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus) in the ophthalmological illnesses: primary glaucoma of open angle, waterfall, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, and macular degeneration associated to the age. Eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are closely related to atherosclerotic risk factors: smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Knowing how these factors influence ocular structures will facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Systematic search was made in Scielo, Sciencedirect and Elsevier databases. Smoking increases the risk of suffering and accelerates the progression of primary open-angle glaucoma, as well as cataract, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus, in addition to leading to corresponding retinopathies, also increase the likelihood of developing open-angle primary glaucoma; they are even considered poor prognosis factors since they prompt its progression. The control of smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus will therefore improve the prognosis of these ophthalmological conditions, and in some cases will prevent or delay their onset(AU)
