Abstract

Introduction: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) manifests as neurosensory detachment of the macula and observation has been considered as an appropriate first-line approach. Active treatment is required to prevent recurrences or chronic type. This study aim to evaluate the effectiveness of intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IVRI) for acute CSC. Methods: A single-center retrospective descriptive study. Five files of the patients who had the diagnosis of CSC then treated with IVRI between 2018 and 2019 have been investigated. IVRI were given once every 4 weeks until sub-retinal fluid resolved. Demographic details, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and central macular thickness (CMT) were studied before and after treatment. Results: The mean age of the patients was 57 years (SD= 10.5 years) mostly female (3 patients). The mean duration before treatment was 3.8 weeks (SD= 1.4 weeks). The mean number of IVRI was 1.4 (SD= 0.5). The mean CMT before IVRI was 436.4 μm (SD= 109.1) and decreased to 243 μm (SD= 38.3) at the last visit. The mean BCVA before IVRI was 0.56 logMAR (SD= 0.37) and improved to 0.22 logMAR (SD= 0.29) Conclusion: IVRI appeared to be effective treatment for acute CSC. The mean CMT decreased and BCVA improved after therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) represents the second most common cause of open globe injury (OGI) and critical ophthalmic emergency that requires urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness. It can cause direct damage via entry into the eye and causing future damage. The immediate pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery in post-traumatic endophthalmitis is beneficial for optimizing visual prognosis. Case report: A 55-year-old male patient came to the Emergency Room tertiary referral hospital with chief complaints of blurry vision, pain, and red-eye in his right eye 3 days before admission. The patient’s right eye was hit by a fragment of the sickle knife while mowing the grass in the yard without protective eyeglasses. Painful on his right eye is getting worse accompanied by lacrimation. The patient went to Tertiary Eye Hospital because of his complaints getting worse. The patient was diagnosed with Open Globe Injury Type C grade D pupil B zone 1, suspect early endophthalmitis, traumatic cataract of the right eye, and hypertension. Pars plana vitrectomy, vitreous tap, antibiotic intravitreal injection (with Ceftazidime and Vancomycin), IOFB extraction, explore, corneal scraping on the wound, cultural resistance, primary hecting of the cornea were done. The visual acuity improves and the infection was resolved. Conclusion : One of the most common traumas in ophthalmology is IOFB and it is considered an emergency condition. Proper ophthalmology examination and appropriate ancillary testing should be done to reveal this condition. Good management will give a good result of the patient’s visual prognosis.

Abstract

Background: To describe the characteristics of patients with ocular trauma in Cicendo Eye Hospital (CEH) Bandung, West Java.Methods: Data was taken from medical record of patients aged 0-14 between January to December 2011. The patient age, gender, visual acuity (before and after treatment), onset, types of trauma, laterality, location of trauma, causes and treatment were documented and analyzedResults: We found 188 children recorded with eye injury, 130 boys (69.1%) and 58 girls(30.9%) . Based on age distribution, eye trauma was mostly in group 2-7 years in 83 children (44.14%). The initial visual acuity obtained was mostly > 0.5 (Snellen chart) in 89 children (53,7%) and 0,02 – LP of 11 children (50%) of closed globe injury and open globe injury respectively. Most patient came to CEH between 1-3 days of onset. Laterality of ocular trauma was mostly on the rigth eye (53,2%) and occur at out door (53,2%). The most causes of injury was blunt trauma 166 cases (88,3%). Medical management was needed in 141 cases, 46 cases had to been operated, and 1 cases just conservative.Conclusions: Ocular trauma was a common injury in preschool children, boys and right eye, mostly occur at out door, but those were no significant difference in both open and closed ocular trauma. Prognosis for visual function are mostly good in closed globe injury. We need more intensive supervision in the home especially outdoor enviroment, for that group of children. Key word: open globe injury, closed globe injury, Children, Cicendo eye hospital

Abstract

Background: Diabetic retinopathy has a negative impact on quality of life. In order to investigate the effects of visual impairment in self-perception of quality of life, vision related questionnaires such as the National Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25) has been developed. The aim of this study is to predict severity of diabetic retinopathy using NEI-VFQ-25 Version 2000 by measuring the cut off score of visual function questionnaire on vision related quality of life Methods: Cross Sectional study by examining 49 diabetic retinopathy patients who meet the inclusion criteria. All patients requested to answer the questionnaire. All question have a score and all question scores then categorized into a number of subscales that can be averaged to yield the subscale scores (lowest to highest range 0-100). Higher score on the VFQ–25 indicates better visual function and health related quality of life. Average scoring then being analyzed by ROC curve in order to gain the cut off score value between retinopathy and sight threatening diabetic retinopathy. Results: The cut off score value between retinopathy and sight threatening diabetic retinopathy is 90.90. The VFQ-25 classification score is in the range of <90.90 consider threatening diabetic retinopathy and ≥90.90 consider retinopathy. Conclusion: VFQ-25 is one of the instruments to confirm that diabetic retinopathy significantly impair quality of life. The cut off score value between retinopathy and sight threatening diabetic retinopathy is 90.90. Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy, NEI-VFQ-25

Abstract

Introduction : Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare phacomatosis characterized by multi-organ neoplasia which usually manifests in young adulthood. Ocular manifestations of this disease are frequently presented initially before the involvement of other organ systems. Case Illustration : An 18-year-old girl came with a chief complaint of photopsia in the left eye and complete vision loss in the right eye for five years. The visual acuity of the right eye was no light perception and the left eye was 0.8. The anterior segment of the right eye showed iris neovascularization. The posterior segment of the left eye demonstrated multiple elevated red-yellowish lesions fed by a dilated and tortuous vessel. The head CT scan revealed multiple lesions at the pons and cerebellum. The patient was diagnosed with multiple retinal and brain hemangioblastomas due to VHL disease, neovascular glaucoma, and chronic retinal detachment of the right eye due to sequelae of VHL. The patient was treated with cryotherapy and laser photocoagulation of the left eye. Five-month post-cryotherapy follow-up showed the lesions were still active then she underwent the second cryotherapy. The lesions became whitish in appearance with smaller feeder vessels one month after the second cryotherapy and the visual acuity was preserved. Discussion : Retinal hemangioblastoma is the most common ocular manifestation of VHL disease. Prolonged ischemia causes sight-threatening complications including neovascular glaucoma and exudative retinal detachment. Prompt treatment of detected lesions is crucial for visual preservation. Conclusion : Early detection of VHL ocular manifestations plays a critical role in establishing the diagnosis and initiating treatment for a better prognosis.

Abstract

Introduction : Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that results in irreversible severe loss of central vision in people over 50 years old. Hence, anti-VEGF therapy has become a standard treatment for neovascular AMD. Brolucizumab is a single-chain antibody fragment that inhibits VEGF-A binding to VEGF receptors. It has a higher molar concentration that allows a greater reduction in the central subfield thickness (CST) Case Illustration : A 59-year-old male with a chief complaint of gradually blurred vision in the left eye for 2 years. BCVA of the left eye was 0.3, OCT showed a hyperreflective band in the sub-neurosensory space with subretinal fluid in the left eye (Figure 1), and OCT-A revealed choroidal neovascularization (Figure 2). The patient was diagnosed with AMD AREDS IV in the left eye. He had undergone three monthly injections of brolucizumab. BCVA of the left eye after injection improved to 1.0 and OCT imaging showed no subretinal fluid, no intraretinal fluid, and no pigment epithelial detachment. Discussion : Brolucizumab has a greater reduction in CST because of its high molecular concentration. Results of HAWK and HARRIER concluded that brolucizumab was non-inferior towards aflibercept in BCVA change at week 48. According to the HAWK trial, a greater reduction of CST was seen in week 16 among eyes treated with brolucizumab. Brolucizumab was also well tolerated and adverse event rates were similar to aflibercept. Conclusion : Brolucizumab could be an alternative treatment option considering its efficacy in improving visual acuity and reducing CST.

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are among the microvascular complications in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) that can lead to blindness if not diagnosed early and managed appropriately. Both disorders can be diagnosed and treated using a variety of techniques. Treatment modalities include laser photocoagulation therapy, vitrectomy surgery, intraocular steroid injections, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections. These methods can help avoid blindness when used in conjunction with metabolic control. These recommendations were created with the use of evidence-based medicine principles to help medical professionals—particularly ophthalmologists—identify and treat cases of DR and DME.The primary objective is to provide consensus recommendations and hopefully reduce the incidence of blindness caused by DR and DME in Indonesia.

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes worldwide is increasing and 629 million people are projected to have diabetes by 2045, and the most significant burden of the disease being concentrated in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Type 2 diabetes is mainly treated with insulin adjunctive therapies such as metformin to improve insulin sensitivity and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to lower blood glucose levels. However, there was limited study on the application of SGLT2 inhibitors on type 1 diabetes, particularly empagliflozin. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on blood glucose levels and body weights in a rat model of type 1 diabetes. To mimic type 1 diabetes, the rats were injected with streptozotocin 60 mg intra-peritoneally. Twenty-four rat models were randomly divided into four groups: normal rat group (negative control), untreated diabetic rat group (positive control), type 1 diabetic rats treated with metformin, and type 1 diabetic rats treated with empagliflozin. Blood glucose levels and body weight were recorded before and after induced with streptozotocin and on weeks 4, 6, 8 and 10 of the treatment with anti-diabetic drugs. This study found that the blood glucose levels before and after treatment significantly decreased in all groups (p<0.05), except in the negative control group. Similar results were observed in body weight of the rats, which all groups experienced weight loss, except the negative control. These results suggested that apart from being used in type 2 diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors may also be used as a treatment for type 1 diabetes.

Abstract

Lens drop and intraocular lens (IOL) drop can occur after cataract or phacoemulsification surgery, where the IOL is dislocated from the capsular bag into the vitreous cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term outcomes of implanting a retropupillary iris claw in patients with IOL drop and lens drop after phacoemulsification. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Santosa Hospital, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, from January 2020 to December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: IOL drop and lens drop groups. Total sampling was used, involving 51 patients in the present study, with 27 patients in the IOL drop group and 24 patients in the lens drop group. Data collected included age, sex, eye laterality, the onset of IOL drop or lens drop, intraocular pressure (IOP), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), record of astigmatism change preoperative and postoperative, and postoperative pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) complications. Our data indicated that the UDVA significantly improved in both IOL drop and lens drop groups after PPV surgery (p<0.001). However, there were no significant changes in IOP or astigmatism following the surgery in either group. Over one month, both groups showed improved UDVA, decreased IOP, and changes in astigmatism, with no significant differences between groups. Similarly, there was no significant difference in CDVA between IOL drop and lens drop groups. Only four complications were recorded in the present study. Comparing IOL drop and lens drop groups, only an increase in IOP showed a significant difference (p=0.018). Corneal edema, IOL decentration, and pupil ovalization were not significantly different. In conclusion, retropupillary iris-claw IOL implantation is safe and effective for aphakic patients with complications from phacoemulsification, regardless of whether it is lens drop or IOL drop.

Abstract

Introduction: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are defined as intraocularly retained, unintentional projectiles that require urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness or globe loss. IOFBs account for 18–41% of open globe injuries, and frequently cause severe visual loss in patients with ocular trauma.The purpose of this study are is to describe the characteristics of open-globe injuries with posterior segment intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB). Subject and Methods: Retrospective data of all patients with posterior segment IOFBs from 2017 to 2022 was conducted. Data including demographics, mechanism of injury, type of IOFB, method of diagnosis, presenting examination, medical and surgical treatment, visual outcomes, and complications were recorded. Result: There were 39 patients (eyes) with IOFB, 38 (97,4%) were male, 10 (25,6%) were 46-55 years old. The most common IOFB occurred at workplace 30 patient (85,7%), 29 (74,3%) were insuranced, surgery were performed 1- 4 days in 15 (38,5%. The most Ocular trauma score were 3 (38,5%) and 2 (35,9%) initial VA were light perception – hand movement (25 or 64,1%), final VA with BCVA were > 20/40 (30,8%) patients and 6/60-6/15 (25,6%). The posterior segment IOFB (51,3%, metallic IOFB 25 (61,5%). Cataract 74,3% and Endophthalmitis (20,5%) were found in initial examination patient with IOFB (13 or 37,1%). Late complication in post surgery IOFB patient was glaucoma 14,4%. Conclusions: The IOFB occurred most commonly in adults, men, at the workplace. The IOFB mostly was metallic, found in the posterior segment. Cataract and endoftalmitis were common in initial finding IOFB patients.
