Abstract

Eye trauma is a major cause of vision problems in children, leading to visual impairment and blindness. This issue has significant global implications, affecting children psychologically and socially. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 66% of all eye traumas occur in individuals under 16, with the highest occurrence between ages 9 and 11. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study using medical records of pediatric patients aged 0 - 18 years who experienced eye trauma from January to December 2022 at the National Eye Center-Cicendo Eye Hospital. There were 190 patients included in this study. The majority of patients were male (69.47%) and the most common age group affected was 6 - 12 years (33.16%). Leading causes of eye trauma were blunt trauma (58.95%). The common management for eye trauma in this study is operative or medical procedures (67,37%) This study provides valuable information on the characteristics and management of eye trauma in children, which can contribute to the development of prevention strategies and appropriate interventions. Understanding the patterns of eye trauma and implementing comprehensive care can help prevent blindness and minimize visual impairment. Keywords: Eye Trauma; Children; Management

Abstract

Visual impairment in children still becomes a burden globally. It can affect children’s learning process, career options, and psychosocial development eventually. This study aims to determine the prevalence of visual impairment among schoolchildren in Lengkong Subdistrict, Bandung. This was a retrospective descriptive study using secondary data from visual impairment screening program of schoolchildren aged 6-14 years, which was conducted by Health Promotion Unit of Bandung Eye Center Hospital from August to November 2023. The sample for this study was collected using a total sampling technique. A total of 907 data consisting of Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA), Presenting Visual Acuity (PVA), age, and gender were collected and analysed using Microsoft Excel 2019. The prevalence of visual impairment in schoolchildren was 16.2% with UCVA and 11.1% with PVA, moderate visual impairment was the major classification. Female students were more likely to have visual impairment compared to male students. The highest number of visual impairments with UCVA and PVA compared to age distribution was 12 years old. These results need to become school and government’s concern to create further policy regarding children’s eye health to support an optimal learning process.
