Vision Science and Eye Health Journal (VSEHJ) is a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Airlangga that welcomes original research, case reports, and scoping or systematic review manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists. VSEHJ focuses mostly on the case report and also welcomes original research and scoping or systematic review related to vision science and eye health that is relevant for the development of the theory and practice of ophthalmology fields. The scope for VSEHJ includes ophthalmology and visual sciences, including corneal or external disease, cataract or anterior segment, glaucoma, neuro-ophthalmology, orbit ocular pathology, pathology or oncology of oculoplastic or orbit, pediatric ophthalmology or strabismus, refractive management and intervention, retina or vitreous, uveitis, community ophthalmology. Each volume of VSEHJ consists of three numbers published every November, March, and July. The first number of volume one was published in November 2021. Articles published in VSEHJ include case reports, original research, and scoping or systematic review articles. Contributors for VSEHJ are researchers, lecturers, students, ophthalmology experts, and other practitioners that focus on ophthalmology worldwide, especially from Southeast Asia Region. Submissions are open year-round.

Abstract

Introduction: The primary treatment in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is vitrectomy; however, direct intervention to the dense proliferative fibrovascular membrane may lead to massive hemorrhage obscuring the surgery process. Purpose: to review the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as an adjuvant therapy before pars plana vitrectomy in PDR cases. Review: Anti-VEGF has been proposed as an adjuvant preceding the vitrectomy to lower intraoperative and post-operative complications. On the other hand, it could increase fibrosis which triggers tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in PDR cases. Conclusion: Intervals of five to ten days are considered the most ideal between anti-VEGF injection and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) surgery in which the adjuvant therapy has made neovascularization regression and before the occurrence of fibrovascular contractions.

Abstract

Introduction: Large, full-thickness upper eyelid defects management presents a thorough and challenging approach due to the multilaminar character of the eyelid and its dynamic function. The Cutler-Beard flap method has been the mainstay management, but posterior lamellar graft usage with recent modifications may reduce complications. Case Presentation: A 43-year-old man presented to the emergency ward after a traffic accident left him with a full-thickness laceration on his left upper eyelid and an approximately 60% avulsion on the one-third medial of the eyelid. Traumatic ptosis was also found. After considering the large size of the affected area and the probability of faster wound healing, a free graft from the tarsus and conjunctival eyelid of his fellow eye was harvested to replace the posterior lamellar of the affected eye and closed the defect with a rotational skin flap from the remaining of the left upper eyelid. Conclusions: This technique could be one of the alternatives to the more common cutler-beard flap with mild complications. However, temporary visual obstruction cannot be avoided due to the traumatic ptosis complication of this patient.

Abstract

Introduction: The cornea is a transparent, avascular tissue that serves as a structural barrier and protects the eye from infection. A corneal ulcer is an inflammatory or, more dangerously, infective disorder involving abnormalities of the cornea’s epithelial layer or stroma. Corneal ulcers can develop due to contact lenses, trauma, adnexal illnesses, or ocular surface abnormalities. Despite aggressive nonsurgical therapies, corneal perforation frequently occurs in the event of resistant corneal ulcers. The anatomic integrity of the eyeball must be preserved through urgent surgical intervention to avoid potentially fatal consequences such as endophthalmitis, subsequent glaucoma, perforation, or corneal scarring. Case Presentation: A-11-year-old male child was taken to Community Eye Hospital, East Java due to a corneal ulcer. He complained of pain and redness right after he played with bamboo two weeks ago. The patient had been previously treated in other hospitals; however, there was a worsening of symptoms rather than improvement. Clinical examination of oculus sinister revealed a conjunctival injection, episcleral injection, corpus alienum (bamboo) sized 50 mm, an ulcer in the central cornea sized 3 x 2 mm irregular, shallow anterior chamber, impending perforation in the central cornea with a diameter of 2 mm. Thus, there had shown impending perforation, and the patient had to undergo surgery, of amniotic graft and antibiotic injection immediately to avoid perforation. Conclusions: A perforation, an ophthalmological emergency requiring surgery, can result from corneal ulceration, a medical emergency. The primary objectives of the procedure are to restore the eye’s anatomical integrity and to reduce problems as much as feasible.

Abstract

Introduction: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are defined as intraocularly retained, unintentional projectiles that require urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness or globe loss. Case Presentation: We report a case of IOFB due to occupational accidents. In this case, there were delays in extraction considering the health facilities and conditions related to COVID-19 infection. Initially, the patient underwent closure of the entrance wound, which was performed within the first 24 hours post-trauma. However, although there was no endophthalmitis, visual acuity at the end of the observation still showed an unexpected outcome. The patient was followed up for three months after IOFBs extraction. The timing of IOFBs removal depends on several factors, including the patient’s overall health status, the nature of the injury, and the composition of the IOFBs. The postoperative examinations focus on complications such as endophthalmitis, postoperative retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), and sympathetic ophthalmia. The numerical values can then be used to predict the expected visual acuity using the ocular trauma score system. Conclusions: Many factors could affect the outcome quality of visual acuity. Primary wound closure, foreign body extraction, and anatomic reconstruction of the holistic ocular should be performed as soon as possible. Delay in definitive treatment was thought to affect worsening prognosis due to tissue proliferation and the tendency for severe complications, including endophthalmitis.
