Abstract

Background: Phacoemulsification, a common cataract surgery technique, can increase intraocular pressure (IOP) postoperatively. This study aimed to identify risk factors contributing to increased IOP, focusing on patient age and duration of phacoemulsification. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Harapan Jayakarta Hospital, Jakarta, for 4 months (May-September 2023) on 43 cataract patients ≥40 years old who underwent phacoemulsification. Inclusion criteria were preoperative IOP 10-21 mmHg, clear conjunctival and corneal structures. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using SPSS. Results: Analysis showed a significant correlation between patient age and phacoemulsification duration (older patients = longer phacoemulsification time), with a mean age of 63.21 years. Phacoemulsification duration >270 seconds significantly increases the risk of postoperative IOP. Conclusion: Prolonged exposure to ultrasonic waves during phacoemulsification can cause cellular injury to the internal structures of the eye, increasing IOP. Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as optimizing phacoemulsification timing, may reduce these complications and improve cataract surgery outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Floaters, or particles that appear to float in the visual field, are often subjective complaints that cause disruptive sensations in vision. Eye strain, which is a common symptom associated with prolonged use of digital screens, can lead to other visual disorders. However, there is limited research examining the relationship between eye strain and floaters. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between eyestrain and the occurrence of floaters in Kalam Kudus Senior High School. Methods: The study was conducted using a cross-sectional method with 62 respondents who extensively use electronic devices. Data on eye strain symptoms and the occurrence of floaters were collected using a standard questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between eye strain and floaters. Results: The results of the study showed a significant relationship between eyestrain and the occurrence of floaters (p-value = 0.022). Students who reported eyestrain had a higher risk of experiencing floaters. Conclusion: Excessive use of digital screens and eye strain can contribute to the development of floaters in the high school student population.
