Abstract

Anisometropia is a different refractive power between the two eyes. Anisometropia can cause various symptoms, such as eye fatigue, headaches, blurred vision, diplopia (double vision), and decreased depth of vision (stereopsis). This will definitely interfere with learning activities, especially in college students. Purpose: This study aims to determine the prevalence and characteristics of anisometropia in university students. Methods: This study used total sampling technique with cross sectional method with 150 patients as respondents. Data collection time in this study was conducted from August 2023 to September 2023. Results: In this study as many as 66.7% (100 people) experienced anisometropia. A total of 12.7% (19 people) experienced simple myopic anisometropia, as many as 2% (3 people) experienced simple hypermetropic anisometropia, as many as 8% (12 people) experienced simple myopic astigmatism, as many as 12% (18 people) experienced compound myopic anisometropia, as many as 31.3% (47 people) experienced compound myopic astigmatism anisometropia, as many as 7% (1 person) experienced mixed anisometropia. Conclusion: The prevalence of anisometropia in this study was 66.7% (100 people). The most common type of anisometropia in this study is compound myopic astigmatism. From this study, it is hoped that it can increase public awareness to carry out sharp vision checks early on, so that learning activities can be more effective.

Abstract

Accommodation insufficiency is an accommodation disorder characterized by a lower accommodation amplitude than the minimum limit of the Hofstetter formula. Symptoms of accommodation are impaired near vision, asthenopia (eye fatigue), blur, headache, and visual discomfort. This study aims to determine the prevalence of accommodation insufficiency in FKIK UKRIDA students class of 2023.  This study used descriptive quantitative research method and cross sectional research design with 150 respondents. Each subject was only observed once at the same time using the RAF Rule as a measuring instrument. Data collection was carried out from September to November.  The prevalence of accommodation insufficiency in FKIK UKRIDA Batch 2023 students amounted to 2 people (1.3%) in both eyes, 6 people (4%) in the left eye, and 2 people (1.3%) in the right eye.  Accommodation disorders can be influenced by age and refraction. The prevalence of accommodation insufficiency in FKIK UKRIDA students of 2023 is 1.3%. The highest number who experienced accommodation insufficiency was in the left eye, which was 4%. It is recommended that people pay more attention to their eye health by conducting routine eye examinations every 6 months-1 year.
The Prevalence of Refractive Errors in Elementary School Children at SDN 16 and 17 Duri Kepa, West Jakarta, 2023/2024: Prevalensi Kelainan Refraksi Mata Pada Anak Usia Sekolah Dasar di SDN 16 dan 17 Duri Kepa Jakarta Barat 2023/2024 Da Costa, Sandra Aparasiba; Silaen, Desi Hartati; Farfar, Inggrid Osya

Abstract

Refractive eye disorders are common among elementary school-age children and can affect their quality of life and academic performance. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that approximately 153 million people experience vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive errors, with 70% of blindness in Indonesia caused by this issue. Children with uncorrected refractive errors often struggle to read the blackboard, see learning materials, and experience headaches and eye fatigue. This study aims to determine the prevalence and types of refractive errors in students of SDN 16 and 17 Duri Kepa, West Jakarta.  A quantitative cross-sectional study design was used, with examinations conducted using the Snellen Chart and autorefractometer to measure students' visual acuity.  Of 601 students, 309 (51.4%) had refractive errors. The most common type of refractive error was a combination of myopia and astigmatism (47.6%). The distribution by gender showed that more females (55.8%) had refractive errors than males (50.7%). The highest prevalence was found in 8-year-old children (21.1%) and 2nd-grade students (26.6%). The importance of routine eye examinations in elementary schools to detect refractive errors early and raise awareness about eye health.

Abstract

Vitamin A deficiency remains a public health issue, particularly among early childhood populations. Night blindness is one of the early consequences of vitamin A deficiency, which can be prevented through adequate nutritional intake. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s eating habits from an early age. Objective of research is to determine the relationship between parents’ knowledge level and the pattern of vitamin A and daily food intake in the prevention of night blindness in early childhood in Sawah Baru Subdistrict. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires and structured interviews with 111 respondents who were parents of children aged 3 to 7 years. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The majority of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (57.7%), and their children's patterns of vitamin A and daily food intake were also in the moderate category. Statistical tests showed no significant relationship between parents' knowledge level and vitamin A intake patterns (p=0.133) or daily food intake (p=0.848). Parents' knowledge alone is not sufficient to ensure optimal feeding behavior in the prevention of night blindness. Other factors such as family economy and dietary habits also play a role.

Abstract

Preschool age is a critical phase in children's visual development. Refractive errors such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism often go undetected due to limited communication abilities in young children. Early detection is essential to prevent negative impacts on growth and learning achievement. The Lea Symbols Test is an effective visual screening method, especially for children who have not yet learned to read. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and types of refractive errors in preschool children in Sawah Baru Subdistrict, South Tangerang, using the Lea Symbols Test. Method: This is a descriptive quantitative study using a survey approach. The sample consisted of 123 children aged 3–7 years from three kindergartens in the area. Visual acuity was assessed using the Lea Symbols chart, followed by subjective refraction using trial lenses. Data were analyzed univariately. Results: The findings showed that 38.2% of children had refractive errors in the right eye and 40.7% in the left eye. Myopia was the most common type (17.9%), followed by astigmatism (9.8%) and hypermetropia (8.1%). Most respondents were aged 5–6 years. The Lea Symbols Test proved effective in identifying visual acuity in early childhood. Conclusion: The prevalence of refractive errors in preschool children is relatively high, with myopia being the most common. Routine eye examinations and parental education are essential for early detection and management.

Abstract

Refractive errors are one of the leading causes of visual impairment in children. If left uncorrected, these conditions can interfere with learning processes and overall child development. Objective: To determine the prevalence of uncorrected refractive errors among students at SDN 11 Pagi and SDN 17 Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, in 2025. Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 700 students who met the inclusion criteria were examined using a Snellen chart and a trial lens set. Results: The study found that 53.7% of students had uncorrected refractive errors. Astigmatism was the most common type, followed by compound myopic astigmatism and myopia. Conclusion: Refractive errors were more prevalent among female students (27.4%) compared to male students (26.3%), with the highest prevalence found in first and sixth-grade students. This study highlights the importance of early detection and routine vision screening among elementary school children to prevent long-term visual impairment.
