Abstract

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapy that uses drugs, called photosensitizers or photosensitizing agents, and a specific type of light. When photosensitizers are exposed to certain wavelengths of light, they produce oxygen that kills nearby cells. PDT is achieved by a photodynamic reaction induced by the excitation of a photosensitizer exposed to light. In the field of ophthalmology, PDT was approved for the first time about ten years ago for cases of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a vision-threatening disease characterized by pathological macular neovascularization. After that, PDT was approved for use in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) cases in pathological myopia.3 This literature review aims to describe the history of PDT use and the basic principles of photodynamic therapy in ophthalmology.

Abstract

Introduction. Depression is a chronic and often recurrent psychiatric disorder among older people, and its association with cataracts has not been well defined. Several studies have shown that depression is a prevalent mental health problem in ophthalmological practice and is often unrecognized or untreated. A systematic review was conducted to investigate the prevalence of depression in patients with visual impairment in cataracts.Methods. A literature search was performed on PubMed and Medline in the last 10 years (2011 to 2021). The search strategy used the following terms: (prevalence) and (visual impairment or blindness) and (cataract) and (depression or depressive symptoms). Of the 544 electronics, 226 articles were selected in free full text and 10 studies were identified as being possibly relevant. Results. Depression was associated with visual impairment in all studies. The prevalence of depression is higher in patients with eye disease.Conclusion. The prevalence of depression among eye disease patients was higher than that in healthy people. Cataract surgery is associated with an improvement in depressive symptomatology. More research is needed to identify effective strategies for the prevention and management of depression in patients with cataracts or visual impairment.

Abstract

Low vision has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be one of the major ophthalmologic problems requiring global attention. Low-vision patients experience a reduced vision-related quality of life due to impaired visual function. However, this condition that interfere their daily life could also make a significant effect on their mental health. Therefore, the final goal of low-vision rehabilitation is to improve the daily quality of life. However, the absence of vision at birth appears to protect against psychosis, whereas later-life visual loss appears to predispose to the development of psychotic symptoms. Thus, our purpose in this literature review is to learn how the onset of visual loss may affect patient's mental health.

Abstract

Introduction. Visual acuity is the ability of the eye to see an object clearly, and this depends on the ability of the eye to accommodate. Myopia is one of the causes of a sharp decline in vision in children aged 8-12 years. Close working distance is one of the most frequently mentioned risk factors for myopia. Head and back posture that bends forward when reading or doing other close-up tasks causes a higher prevalence of myopia. This study was conducted to describe risk factors related to decreased vision in elementary school children. Methods. The study was a descriptive research with a sample of 100 elementary school children taken by simple random sampling. Data was taken using a questionnaire and a Snellen chart. Results. A total of 100 students participated in this study. Most of the participants were aged 11 years old. Based on visual acuity, 20 students have decreased right eye vision, and 21% have decreased left eye vision. Most respondents read every day for 1 hour time as many as 58 (58%) people and had screen time for less than 2 hours (52%). In addition, based on family history, most respondents had parents' glasses (73%). Conclusion. More elementary school children had normal right and left eye vision than those with decreased vision. Most respondents have less screen time and less reading duration.

Abstract

The eye is a complex sensory organ that is responsible for vision. Within the protective sheath, each eye has receptors, a lens system for focusing light on receptors, and a nervous system for transmitting impulses from the receptors to the brain. Visual dysfunction can be caused by abnormal eye movements or changes in visual acuity, refraction, color vision, or accommodation. Visual dysfunction may also be a secondary effect of other neurological disorders. This narrative review aims to describe the structure of the eye in general and visual disturbances caused by the aging process and disorders of the protective structure of the eye.

Abstract

Introduction: Myopia is a clinical condition that occurs when the image of a distant object is focused in front of the retina by the non-accommodating eye. The prevalence of Myopia has been getting higher for decades. A cohort study stated continuing axial elongation in adults with high Myopia. Methods: This research is a retrospective study approach. Data obtained from central general hospital Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang from January 2021 to February 2022. Medical record data included in this study were patients diagnosed as myopic patients. The exclusion criteria were patients with missing medical records and any other refractive disorder. The correlation between myopia degree and axial length using ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis H test depend on its data distribution. Data processing was performed using SPSS version 25. This study aims to determine the association between axial length and myopia degree. Results: Female patients are found predominantly (58.5%). Through the recent surveys, either the domestic or foreign population, results have stated that the prevalence of Myopia is higher in females, and other studies found that it fluctuated with age among adolescent females. The age of patients varies from 16 years to 75 years, and the mean baseline is 30.9± 3.82 years. Mild Myopia accounts most common incidence (53.1%), with laterality, which is found to be more common in the left eye (57.1%). Mean baseline axial length 21.95± 2.85 with visual acuity in LogMar 0.89 ± 0.51. There is a statistically significant difference in axial length based on myopia degree (p=0.000). Conclusion: Female patients are found predominantly in myopia patients, with the age of patients varying from 16 years to 75 years and a mean baseline of 30.9± 3.82 years. There is a statistically significant difference in axial length based on myopia degree.

Abstract

Introduction: Incidence rates of skin cancer have risen significantly over the last two decades. Most tumors develop in sun-exposed areas of the head and neck. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) rarely metastasizes but can cause significant morbidity and death due to direct spread to the orbit, head, and neck and frequent recurrence. In addition, approximately 40% of BCC patients have other lesions after 5 years. Although there has been a lot of epidemiological data regarding the characteristics of BCC in developed countries, reports of BCC in Asia, especially in Southern Sumatra, are still at a minimum rate. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the medical records specific to periocular BCC. Data were collected from the patient register book recorded from January 2021 to May 2022. The clinical characteristics of patients with BCC, such as gender and age, clinicopathological findings of BCC lesions, and BCC management, were reviewed retrospectively. This study aims to determine the epidemiological profile of the malignant eyelid BCC patient, the BCC lesion characteristics, and the management of BCC cases at Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. Results: From 16 BCC patients recruited for this study, most of them were 51–60 years old and 71–80 years old, each with 5 patients (31.3%). The female preponderance of 56.3%. Occulus dextra (56.3%), lower eyelid (62.5%), T1 (87.5%), nodular BCC (75,0%), and primary lesion (75,0%) were the most side, periocular site, size, histopathological subtype and recurrence, respectively. Most therapy done is excision (93,8%), while the leading reconstructive technique was Tenzel’s flap (50,0%). Conclusion: There is a slight preponderance of females as BCC patients. BCC is commonly found in elderly people. The lower eyelid and right side are the most frequent anatomical locations. Nodular is the most common histological subtype. In addition, lesions often present in T1 size and primary lesions. Lastly, the treatment is mainly surgical (excision), with Tenzel's flap as the most used reconstruction technique option.

Abstract

Introduction: Microbial agents cause infectious processes, which may result in corneal inflammation leading to corneal necrosis, ulceration, and perforation. This disorder is one of the major etiologies of monocular blindness in developing countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The etiology of corneal ulcers varies in different regions. Methods: This research is a descriptive study approach. Data obtained from the medical records of patients who were registered as corneal ulcer patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang from July 2021 to September 2021. Results: A total of 9 patients were diagnosed with a corneal ulcer. The number of corneal ulcer patients was more in male patients (77.8%). The age of patients varies from 16 years to 63 years, and most elderly patients are diagnosed with this condition. Predisposing factors are unknown in most patients. The most common location for ulcers is the central cornea (88.9%), with >6 mm in size. Hypopyon is found in 2 patients (22.2%), while perforation and corneal melting in 1 patient consecutively. The most common microbiological profiles of corneal ulcer patients in this study are unspecified (66.7%), while ulcers due to bacteria in the second place of the microbiological profile (33.3%) consist of Enterobacter aerogenes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pantoea spp and sensitive to almost all kinds of antibiotics. Conclusion: The most common microbiological profiles of corneal ulcer patients in this study are unspecified, while ulcer due to bacteria in the second place of the microbiological profile consists of Enterobacter aerogenes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Pantoea spp and sensitive to almost all kinds of antibiotics.

Abstract

Introduction: Blepharoptosis is drooping of the upper eyelid in a primary position, causing the narrowing of the palpebral fissure. This condition can partially or completely cover the visual axis. Establishing the diagnosis of ptosis requires a comprehensive eye examination, including history taking, physical examination, and examination of the eyelids in ptosis patients. The majority of patients with ptosis require surgery, and clinical characteristics play an important role in classifying the type of ptosis and then formulating a detailed treatment plan strategy so that a better outcome is obtained. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted from medical records of post-surgical ptosis patients at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang from January 2016 to December 2021. The data taken included age, gender, the onset of occurrence, laterality, type of ptosis based on the onset, vertical palpebral fissure (FPV), horizontal palpebral fissure (FPH), margin-reflex distance (MRD), margin limbal distance (MLD), lid lag, bell's phenomenon levator muscle function, type of ptosis surgery and postoperative condition. This study aims to determine the clinical characteristics of patients with ptosis at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang. Results: Of the 57 ptosis patients in this study, the majority of patients were male, as many as 32 patients (56.1%) with the age category >40 years, as many as 24 patients (42.1%) with unilateral lateral ptosis as many as 50 patients (87.7%) with the more frequent comparison was the left eye in 29 patients (58%). Acquired ptosis was the most common cause in this study in as many as 46 patients (80.7%), and the most common mechanism of acquired ptosis was neurogenic (33.3%). The majority of patients had no previous surgical history of 41 patients (71.9%), moderate levator function of as many as 42 (73.7%), and frontal suspension surgery technique with synthetic materials as many as 17 (34%) patients. the mean FPV was 5.08±2.627 with a median of 5.00 (0-11), FPH 25.94±1.726 with a median of 26.00 (20-29), MRD 0.246±1.78 with a median of 0.00 (-4 -5), MLD 4.789±2.801 with a median of 5.00 (-4-11) and LA 7.16±4.083 with a median of 7.00 (0-14). Ptosis patients had negative lid lag in 47 patients (82.5%) and positive bell's phenomenon in 49 patients (86%). The postoperative condition of ptosis patients was satisfactory where there was no recurrence and reoperation of ptosis, postoperative complications as many as 1 (1.8%) patients experienced overcorrection, 6 (10.5%) patients experienced lagophthalmos, and 2 (3.5%) patients had an outcome. asymmetric. Conclusion: Clinical characteristics of ptosis patients can determine the diagnosis and treatment that will be given to the patient.
