Abstract: Health teams in primary care play a key role in the eye health of users as they understand
that early identification of any visual change can result in satisfactory outcomes and better prognoses,
preventing damage that is often irreversible to health. Building an ophthalmological calendar for the
therapeutic follow-up of glaucoma in the elderly, this is a methodological study, as the process of
constructing the calendar’s content followed the Raymundo theoretical framework. The calendar
was built in the following steps: bibliographic survey, content development, transformation of the
language of scientific information into easy-to-understand expressions, creation and production of
illustrations of the first draft, evaluation of the first draft made by the examining board, diagramming
and presentation of the product. The construction of the calendar covers a specific theme for
the elderly with glaucoma, which emphasizes the need to invest more in the inclusion of new
technologies that will provide greater effectiveness and adherence of the user and the health team for
the management of comprehensive care. The implementation of the produced calendar will allow for
a better understanding and bond between the team professionals and the user and, consequently, a
better monitoring of the therapeutic process of the patient involved.
