Abstract (English): Currently, 2.2 billion people worldwide are experiencing vision impairment. At least 1 billion of them can be prevented by wearing proper glasses. Ironically, is it being difficult to distinguish between those who wear glasses due to refractive disorders and those who wear glasses to look fashionably trendy. This study aims to identify the behavior of eyewear users from the perspective of eye health based on sources from journals published in 2010-2020. The research methodology used is a systematic literature review by analyzing available literature relevant to the issue under study. Preliminary results show that the prevalence of refractive disorders is high and awareness of eye health needs is still low. There is a different attitude toward wearing glass between urban and rural consumers. Eye care services as a health system are needed to provide services and the importance of the proper use of glass as an aid for better vision and reduce the burden to vision due to refraction errors.

Abstract (Spanish): En la actualidad, 2.200 millones de personas en todo el mundo sufren problemas de visión. Al menos 1000 millones de ellos se pueden prevenir con el uso de anteojos adecuados. Irónicamente, es difícil distinguir entre quienes usan anteojos debido a trastornos refractivos y quienes usan anteojos para lucir a la moda. Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el comportamiento de los usuarios de gafas desde la perspectiva de la salud ocular a partir de fuentes de revistas publicadas en 2010-2020. La metodología de investigación utilizada es una revisión sistemática de la literatura mediante el análisis de la literatura disponible relevante para el tema en estudio. Los resultados preliminares muestran que la prevalencia de los trastornos refractivos es alta y que la conciencia de las necesidades de salud ocular aún es baja. Hay una actitud diferente hacia el uso de vidrio entre los consumidores urbanos y rurales. Los servicios de atención oftalmológica como sistema de salud son necesarios para brindar servicios y la importancia del uso adecuado de los vidrios como ayuda para una mejor visión y reducir la carga a la visión debido a los errores de refracción.
