Abstract

Background: Vision is the primary way people get information and is crucial for the learning process. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired, with 42% of cases due to uncorrected refractive errors. School-age children are highly vulnerable to refractive errors, with myopia (nearsightedness) being the most common. A decrease in visual function due to myopia interferes with tasks requiring far vision, such as reading the blackboard, which can negatively impact academic performance. This study aims to compare the academic performance of patients with corrected and uncorrected myopia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional analytic study of 5th-grade elementary school students with myopia in Jakarta during 2023. Data collected included the students' average mid-semester exam scores and their myopia status, determined by visual acuity examinations. Results: Out of 106 respondents, 34% (36 people) had corrected myopia and 66% (70 people) had uncorrected myopia with 35 (33%) respondents having academic performance results below the passing grade. Bivariate analysis of the data using the Chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.010 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between academic performance results and the incidence of myopia.

Abstract

Background: Retinal disorders are the fourth most common cause of blindness in Indonesia and one of them is retinal detachment. Vitrectomy with silicone oil (SO) tamponade is a popular technique for treating it. As a complication of using SO, intraocular pressure (IOP) can increase and usually returns to normal after evacuation of SO. However, in some conditions, such as emulsifying SO, can cause IOP to remain high even after SO evacuation has been carried out.Objective: To determine the comparison of intraocular pressure before and after evacuation of silicone oil in patients with a history of retinal detachment.Method: This study is a cross sectional with analytical reasearch. Secondary data was taken from the medical records of patients with a history of retinal detachment who underwent silicone oil evacuation performed at KMJA Jakarta Hospital.Result: 39 Respondents aged 23-69 years and 82% are male. The average length of use of SO is 9 months. It was found that the IOP decreased which was not significant in weeks 1-2 after evacuation of SO (p value 0.098) and also the increase in IOP was not significant in weeks 3-4 after evacuation of SO (p value 0.184).Conclusion: There is no significant difference in intraocular pressure before and after evacuation of silicone oil in patients with a history of retinal detachment

Abstract

Background: Silicone oil is an artificial liquid that functions as a tamponade agent in vitreoretinal surgery. One disadvantage of using silicone oil is that it needs advanced procedures for oil evacuation because it is not absorbed spontaneously by the retina. This evacuation is recommended as soon as the retina heals to prevent complications such as pupil block and glaucoma secondary to silicone oil (SO) emulsification and causing increased intraocular pressure (IOP).  The recommended time for SO evacuation is the first 3-6 months after surgery. The aims of this study is to determine the relationship between increased IOP and duration of use of tamponade SO.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design by taking secondary data on retinal detachment history patients who underwent silicone oil evacuation at KMJA Hospital Jakarta from January 2019 to November 2021.Results: Respondents were 39 patients with an age range of 23-69 years and 71,8% were male. The average duration of use of SO is 9 months. In weeks 3-4 after the SO evacuation, data on the number of eyes with high IOP have obtained from as many as 9 eyes and 6 of them had used tamponade SO for more than 6 months with a p-value of 0.153.Conclusion: There was no significant association between the duration of SO tamponade use and increased IOP after SO evacuation.
