Abstract

Amblyopia, commonly referred to as 'lazy eye’, manifests as a reduction in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the absence of detectable ocular structural abnormalities. Refractive amblyopia specifically denotes a subtype of amblyopia arising from uncorrected refractive errors. A retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted on medical records of all pediatric patients with refractive amblyopia at the Department of Ophthalmology, Cipto Mangunkusumo Kirana National Referral Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia in 2018 to 2022. A total of 391 eyes of 224 patients were included. Median age was 8 (5-18) years, with majority being older than 7 years of age (58.7%). Leading method of treatment was with spectacles alone (80.4%). Overall amblyopia improvement was mostly observed after six months of treatment. In conclusion, refractive amblyopia at our hospital was highly prevalent among children. Thus, early detection and treatment of refractive errors in children is essential to prevent refractive amblyopia.

Abstract

Refractive errors, notably myopia, are highly prevalent in Asian countries, with a notable increase observed in the pediatric population. This surge is attributed to lifestyle changes such as less time outdoors and increased exposure to digital screens and near-work activities, which are known to elevate myopia risk. A retrospective review of medical records was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, from 2020 to 2022, identifying 290 eyes of 146 children with refractive errors. Myopia emerged as the most prevalent refractive error, affecting 53.4% of eyes in this study. The median age of the participants was 8 years old, with 56.8% being females and 65.8% residing in Jakarta. Early detection and management of refractive errors are crucial to prevent irreversible visual impairment in children. Further multi-centered studies are recommended to comprehensively understand pediatric refractive errors in Indonesia.
