Abstract

Introduction: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a subset of glaucoma defined by an open, normal-appearing anterior chamber angle and raised intraocular pressure (IOP) with no other underlying disease. Globally 57.5 million people were affected by primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in 2015, rising to 65.5 million by 2020. POAG can further lead to optic nerve damage, which can cause total blindness. POAG cannot be cured but can be controlled with medical therapy, laser, and surgical procedures. Antiglaucoma drugs are a method of treatment that can overcome this disease. This study aims to determine the characteristics of patients with POAG and progressivity of cup to disc ratio and intraocular pressure after 3 months of management of 2 antiglaucoma agents in POAG patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the medical records specific to primary open-angle glaucoma. Data was obtained from the patient register book recorded from February 2022 to May 2022 in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang. The parameters analyzed were patients' profiles, namely gender, intraocular pressure, and cup to disc ratio before and after 3 months of combination 2 antiglaucoma agents. Timolol and latanoprost are the 2 antiglaucoma agents given to patients diagnosed of previous POAG (by an ophthalmologist). Results: From 30 patients diagnosed with POAG by an ophthalmologist, the number of primary open-angle glaucoma patients was more female, namely 19 patients (63.3%) than 11 male patients (36.7%), with a ratio of 1.28:1 between women and men. The cup to disc ratio between before and after 3 months of therapy using timolol and latanoprost was 0.628 ± 0.04 before therapy to 0.645 ± 0.06 after therapy (p<0.05). Intraocular pressure before and after 3 months of therapy was 24.76 ± 2.63 before therapy to 17.75 ± 2.08 (p<0,05). Both cup to disc ratio and intraocular pressure differs statistically from before and after therapy. Conclusion: Fixed combination therapy of timolol and latanoprost is effective in lowering intraocular pressure and reducing cup to disc ratio progressivity in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Abstract

Introduction: Posterior Capsular Opacity (PCO), also called "secondary cataract," is the most common complication after cataract surgery and occurs in 20-50% of patients within 2 – 5 after cataract surgery before. The current therapeutic option for PCO is using capsulotomy laser Nd:YAG (Neodymium: Yttriume-Auminume-Garnet) to break up opacities in the central or visual axis of the posterior capsule. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in June 2022 with all patients in Lens Subdivision who were diagnosed with PCO in outpatient poly Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang from October 2021 – March 2022. Total sampling was obtained from the medical record of the patient. Each patient had previous cataract surgery with a range of 1 – 7 years before. Results: There are 15 samples in this study, with a total of 7 women (46.7%) and 8 men (53.3%). The mean age is 62.5 years, with the youngest age 14 years old and the oldest 73 years old. Seven patients (46.7%) are the most surgical history in the 3rd to 5th year. Each sample diagnosed with PCO was subjected to the Nd:YAG laser procedure with visual acuity before the procedure ranging from 1/~ to 6/15, and the best vision after the Nd:YAG laser procedure reached 6/6 vision. Conclusion: PCO commonly occurs after cataract surgery & occurred within 2 -5 years after cataract surgery. Therapeutic management can be using the Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy technique and surgical techniques to maintain visual function after cataract surgery.

Abstract

Stereoscopic is the ability to perceive visual objects in the depth dimension (in the third dimension). Having a stereoscopic vision is a goal to be achieved. Brown Syndrome is a rare form of strabismus in which an ocular motility disorder is characterized by restriction of the elevation of the adducted eye, whereas Duane Syndrome is a spectrum of eye motility disorders characterized by anomalous contractions of the medial and lateral rectus muscles in actual or attempted adduction of one or both eyes. Involved. Diagnosis and therapy are performed depending on the underlying condition of the disorder.

Abstract

Strabismus is a condition due to misalignment of the visual axis of the eyes, also known as a squint. Squint eyes can be clearly seen by others, and give symptoms such as double vision or blurred vision. In a systematic review study revealed that 1 in every 50 people suffer from strabismus, and this disorder greatly affects their quality of life. Psychological impacts on people with strabismus can be caused by environmental factors, such as the non-acceptance of strabismus sufferers in the social environment. If strabismus is not treated in a timely manner in children, besides cosmetic consequences, it can have a dramatic impact on learning abilities, impairing their physiological and psychological performance, ultimately affecting their development and maturity. In particular, a positive effect of strabismus surgery has been demonstrated post strabismus surgery.

Abstract

Loneliness has been termed a social epidemic, especially by people with disabilities; one of them is visual impairment. To our knowledge, no study has obtained specific estimates of depression for young and middle-aged adults with visual impairment (VI). These difficulties may be compounded by discrimination. Observational data revealed that those with sight loss were twice as likely as those with another impairment to have experienced discrimination. There is evidence that individuals with visual impairment have poorer mental health than their impairment-free counterparts. In health care settings, an association between visual impairment and depression has been consistently reported. Greater prevalence of depressive symptoms in those with visual impairment has also been reported. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of and factors associated with loneliness and depression in adults with visual impairment and examine its association with life satisfaction.

Abstract

Introduction: The human Herpesviridae have been described as a leading cause of infectious uveitis. The most common manifestations are keratouveitis and iridocyclitis. The diagnosis is usually made on clinical grounds. The present therapy is based upon the inhibition of viral replication and the use of anti-inflammatory medications. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on the records of 206 patients with uveitis from the Clinic of Ophthalmology at University Hospital Alexandrovska, Sofia, Bulgaria. The study period was from January 2012 until August 2019. The diagnosis was based on the clinical exam and, when necessary, on specialized testing – PCR on aqueous humor or vitreous material. We used descriptive statistical methods. Results: Out of 206 patients with intraocular inflammation, 46 (22.3%) were diagnosed with herpetic uveitis. Of them, 35 (76.1%) had anterior uveitis, 7 patients (15.2%) had panuveitis, and 4 patients (8.7%) had posterior uveitis. The mean age was 45.3 years. The leading complications were ocular hypertension, corneal leucoma, retinal detachment, and cataract. Antiviral therapy with acyclovir or valaciclovir, alone or with corticosteroids, was used in all groups. Conclusion: The herpesviruses are important causative agents of infectious uveitis. In our study, non-granulomatous, hypertensive anterior uveitis was the most common clinical entity. There were also a few patients with posterior and panuveitis. VZV was the most common etiologic agent. The panuveitis cohort had the worse prognosis for visual acuity, mostly as a result of retinal detachment. The posterior uveitis presented most frequently as focal retinochoroiditis with a good prognosis.

Abstract

Acute syphilitic posterior placoid chorioretinitis (ASPPC) is defined by the presence of a placoid, yellowish, often solitary lesion, typically involving the areas of the temporal vascular arcades, the juxtapapillary retina, and/or the macular region, with the lesions being present at the level of the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The visual acuity may range from no light perception to 20/20. There may be associated anterior chamber inflammation and vitritis. Therapy should include antibiotics for neurosyphilis. The role of corticosteroids is controversial. HIV coinfection should always be tested for. With appropriate therapy, the prognosis seems to be good.

Abstract

Introduction: Cataract is the main cause of visual impairment and vision loss in the world, where 33% of the world's population has decreased vision due to cataracts. This study aims to explore the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in inhibiting the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1ß, thereby triggering tissue repair in cataract cases in vivo study. Methods: This study is an experimental study with a post-test-only approach with a control group design. A total of 30 rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain was included in this study (male, 150-200 g, 8-10 weeks). The rats were divided into 3 groups, P1 (the group that was not induced by cataract and not treated with platelet-rich plasma), P2 (the group that was induced by cataract and given 10 uL of intraocular saline injection), and P3 (the group that was induced by cataract and given an intraocular injection of platelet-rich plasma). Plasma 10 uL). Results: The results showed that the P3 group that received platelet-rich plasma treatment showed a significant decrease in IL-1B levels when compared to the P2 group with cataract induced but without PRP administration (p<0.05). Conclusion: Activated platelet-rich plasma has potential as a new therapeutic modality in cataract conditions through inhibition of chronic inflammatory response in vivo studies.

Abstract

Endophthalmitis is a severe form of intraocular inflammation which is caused by bacteria or fungi. It is a medical emergency with an imminent threat to vision and permanent structural and functional complications. The condition affects the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. It may be either exogenous – following penetrating trauma or intraocular surgery, or endogenous, in which the pathogens enter the eye hematogenous. The diagnosis is based on the clinical picture and on specialized testing – aqueous and/or vitreous cultures, with or without additional PCR for panbacterial and panfungal primers. If endogenous endophthalmitis is suspected, blood and urine cultures may also be performed. The most common bacterial pathogens in acute postoperative endophthalmitis belong to the Staphylococcus and Streptococcus groups. Endogenous endophthalmitis is most frequently fungal and caused by Candida. The incidence of post-traumatic endophthalmitis ranges from 0.9 to 17% and of postoperative - from 0.016 to 5.7%, depending on the surgical procedure and the geographic location. Endogenous endophthalmitis has been observed in up to 8% of all cases. Therapy is urgent and may include intravitreal medications or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), according to the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study criteria. The combination of COVID-19-associated severe pneumonia, systemic corticosteroid therapy, and diabetes appear to be risk factors for endogenous endophthalmitis. The ethology has mostly been linked to fungal infections, especially Candida, as in the pre-COVID-19 era. There has been a tendency to perform PPV with intravitreal medications as the primary procedure, but the results have been mixed.

Abstract

Introduction: The eyelids or lids have the function of protecting the eyeball and secrete glandular secretions that form a tear film in front of the cornea. This study aimed to assess the characteristics of patients with entropion. Methods: This research is a retrospective study approach. Data was obtained from Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, from January 2019 to December 2021. Medical record data included in this study were patients diagnosed with ptosis, entropion, and ectropion patients. The exclusion criteria were patients with missing medical records and any other palpebra abnormalities. The necessary variables were analyzed descriptively by calculating the prevalence and looking at the patient characteristics of entropion. Results: Most age in patients with entropion are those with age >60 years, which is as much as 66.67% of patients. The most affected eyes were the left eye and both eyes (44.44%) and the superior eyelid (66.67%). In this study, the most common type of entropion was the cicatricial type which was found in 5 patients (55.56%). No spastic and congenital entropion was found in this study. Conclusion: The most common age are those with age >60 years. The cicatricial type was the most common type in patients with entropion at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital.
