Abstract

Myopia is one of the most common refractive errors found in the community and has become a major cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. The degree of myopia may influence intraocular pressure (IOP), which is a major risk factor for glaucoma. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the degree of myopia and intraocular pressure among patients at Prima Vision Eye Hospital Medan. This research employed an analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The study sample consisted of 48 patients diagnosed with myopia who met the inclusion criteria. The degree of myopia was categorized based on refraction examination results, while IOP was measured using non-contact tonometry. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that most respondents were aged 21–30 years (39.6%) and the majority were female (58.3%). Most patients had moderate myopia (47.9%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between the degree of myopia and intraocular pressure (p < 0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between the degree of myopia and intraocular pressure among patients at Prima Vision Eye Hospital Medan. It is recommended that patients with high myopia undergo regular eye examinations for early detection of increased IOP and glaucoma risk.

Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous glands characterized by various types of lesions, commonly affecting adolescents and young adults. Among the principal causative bacteria are Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus. Conventional topical antibiotic therapy may lead to side effects such as skin irritation and antibiotic resistance, which points to the importance of alternative antimicrobial agents sourced from natural products. This experimental study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of a combination of ethanol extracts of pineapple leaves (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) and green betel leaves (Piper betle L.) against P. acnes and S. aureus. The extracts were prepared using the maceration method with 96% ethanol and tested at concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60%. Antibacterial activity was determined by the disk diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer) on Nutrient Agar, using clindamycin as the positive control and sterile aquadest as the negative control. The results demonstrated that all concentrations of the extract combination produced inhibition zones against P. acnes (mean diameters: 20.23 mm, 22.69 mm, and 24.85 mm) and S. aureus (mean diameters: 20.51 mm, 20.23 mm, and 24.74 mm), with the greatest effects observed at 60% concentration. Statistical analysis indicated a significant difference in inhibition against P. acnes (p = 0.016), but not against S. aureus. These findings support the potential use of pineapple and green betel leaf extract combinations as alternative topical antibacterial agents for acne treatment, particularly against P. acnes, and warrant further research into their use as natural anti-acne formulations.
