Resumo: | Introduction: Elderly people with visual impairment tend to be more sedentary, with consequent muscle loss, balance and functionality. These factors end up leading to a decrease in the quality of life, restricting social participation by limiting activities. Objective: to evaluate, through scientific evidence, the importance of assessing visual acuity in the elderly. Methodology: The search was carried out by searching the following databases: Online Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLINE®), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF). The keywords used followed the description of the terms Health Science Descriptors (DeCS) and Medical Subject Heading (MESH) in Portuguese, which are: visual acuity, elderly. In order to carry out the integrated search, the “and” connective was used, uniting the descriptors. At this stage, there was no use of other filters in order to address all the available literature within the focus of interest. Results: Initially, a table was built to expose the studies containing information such as year, title, authors and place of publication. After searching the databases through the established inclusion and exclusion descriptors, 08 articles were selected in (Chart 1) for anal Introduction: Elderly people with visual impairment tend to be more sedentary, with consequent muscle loss, balance and functionality.
