Introduction: Three main vision disorders have been reported in Mexico: refractive errors, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Some lifestyle factors have been associated with visual health; however, few studies have linked these factors to each other. Objective: To determine the association of increased weight, caloric intake, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption, and smoking with five vision disorders. Material and method: An analytical cross-sectional study with 250 participants. Smoking habits, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and caloric intake were identified through a survey conducted by the National Institute of Public Health. Weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and height were measured, and visual disorders were diagnosed by an ophthalmologist. Results: When comparing the groups with and without visual impairment, statistically significant differences were observed in relation to weight gain (68% vs. 31%, p<0.05), physical inactivity (74% vs. 27%, p<0.05), caloric intake (65% vs. 34%, p<0.05), alcohol consumption (74% vs. 26%, p<0.05), and smoking habits (69% vs. 30%, p<0.05). Conclusion: The negative lifestyle factors assessed in this study were more frequent in patients with visual impairment.
