There are few studies of epidemiological research in of Ophthalmology with the population of center-western Brazil. In order to identify the prevalence of the of eye diseases in the region, and specifically in Goiania and Goiás, that impact on blindness and visual impairment, this study analyzed 10,060 records randomly selected from patients seen at the Reference Center for Ophthalmology School of Medicine Federal University of Goiás ((CEROF/UFG), in From April 2009 to March 2010. There was a profile analysis of ocular morbidity in the target population in relation to disease group, acuity, age, sex and region of origin. The study also covered the distribution of queries in the four quarters of the year, elective and urgent, and the degree of visual impairment in the bands visual impairment and blindness. The predominant diseases in elective care in relation to the total sample of 10,060 patients were cataract (7.24%), pterygium (6.77%), allergic conjunctivitis (3.70%), dry eye (3,36%) , diseases of the retina and vitreous (3.23%), strabismus (2.64%) and glaucoma (1.94%). In urgent care were the most prevalent extraocular foreign body (25.5%), infectious conjunctivitis (23.6%), keratitis and and corneal ulcer (11.3%), pterygium and pingueculite (5.3%) and sub conjuntival hemorrhage (4.0%). There was higher prevalence of sex female (63.1%) and ages between 0-14 (26,8%) years and 40 to 49 (20,8%) years in elective consultations. In urgency consultations there was more prevalent of male (64.84%) and ages between 15 and 39 (51.06%) years in clinical urgency. Refractive errors were recorded in 43.08% of queries being found more astigmatism (40.02%) followed by hyperopia (36.54%). Were determined rates of low vision within the parameters of World Health Organization (WHO). The results were compared with other studies in Brazil and abroad, aiming to define the reality of the regional profile of eye health, as an aid to prevention strategies, recovery and treatment through health policies and government's own guidance service studied, the CEROF/UFG. It follows that both elective care and emergency at CEROF/UFG is similar to that found in southern and southeastern Brazil and in most developed countries of the world.
