Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Malnutrition is a process that generates numerous consequences for the human body, especially in the development of ocular comorbidities. The effect of this impact on people has been a source of study in the literature. OBJECTIVE: To seek understanding about ophthalmological alterations due to malnutrition. METHOLOGY: A literature search was carried out based on the descriptor “malnutrition'' and "eyes changes” in the PubMed database. A total of 290 articles were found, of which, after using filters and exclusion parameters, they were 10 articles were selected, in addition, two books were used, the “Guide to clinical nutrition in childhood and adolescence” and “Ophthalmology for graduation.” All literature used for this document lists ophthalmological alterations resulting from malnutrition. RESULTS: It was found that the low intake and malabsorption of nutrients and minerals has consequences for different ocular tissues. CONCLUSION: It is important to understand about ophthalmological changes due to malnutrition, in order to obtain an early diagnosis and avoid the appearance of optical deformities.
