Objective: To identify the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients served by the Family Health Strategy (FHS) of Ananindeua, Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with 40 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) enrolled in the HIPERDIA program and assisted by the FHS of Ananindeua. Those selected were subjected to a standardized questionnaire at home and answered questions about the knowledge, outcomes and complications of DM and DR, and socioeconomic data. In the next step, a volunteer ophthalmologist performed ophthalmoscopy and found those with DR, who were sent to a specialized center to receive treatment. Of these patients, 9 were excluded because they did not attend the unit to perform ophthalmoscopy. Results: The prevalence of DR was found to be 40.7%; however, 4 patients had impaired their analysis due to the presence of cataracts, so it was only possible to do evaluation in 27. Factors associated with DR, after analysis of the variables were the time to the patients be aware of the diagnosis of DM, type of DM and non-proliferative DR. Conclusion: This pilot study underscores the importance of primary care in monitoring diabetic patients and guidance to the professionals of public health about the need for periodic referral of diabetic patients to ophthalmologists.
