It is characterized by hyperglycemia and late development of vascular complications that lead to blindness in adults and increase the risk of retinopathy. Objective: characterize diabetic retinopathy in patients belonging to the Doctor’s Office 16-10 of the Santa Clara Polyclinic. Method: a descriptive quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on patients belonging to the Doctor’s Office 16-10 of the Santa Clara Polyclinic from December 2015 to February 2017. The data were collected through a form and the review of medical records. Results: in the sample, 56.1% of patients presented diabetic retinopathy, with a predominance of mild non-proliferative retinopathy in women and in those with 65 years of age or older. The association of risk factors, such as having more than 10 years of evolution, the lack of control of the glycemia and arterial hypertension favored the appearance of the disease.
