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: To report a case of corneal ectasia after corneal refractive surgery successfully treated with a corneal rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens. Case Presentation: A 30-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and significant glare six months after bilateral refractive lenticule extraction–small incision lenticule extraction (ReLEx SMILE) surgery. The spectacle prescription showed inconsistent results. Corneal topography revealed increased high-order aberration (HOA) with values of 4.470/19.742 in the right eye and 2.543/9.931 in the left eye. After RGP lens fitting, HOA significantly improved to 0.921/1.746 in the right eye and 0.501/0.814 in the left eye, accompanied by marked improvement in subjective visual. However, after three months of follow-up, the patient experienced worsening visual symptoms and topographic findings in the left eye. Conclusions: RGP lenses do not prevent progression but can correct impaired visual function due to ectasia after corneal refractive surgery. Stricter patient selection, including consideration of hormonal factors affecting the eye, is needed to minimize the risk of keratorefractive ectasia.

Abstract

Introduction: Amblyopia is a condition characterized by decreased visual acuity in one or both eyes. This condition frequently occurs in children because at this stage, there is a critical period of visual development. Delayed treatment can lead to decreased or even permanent vision loss. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of refractive amblyopia in children and evaluate the effectiveness of spectacle correction on visual improvement in children aged 6-18 years diagnosed with refractive amblyopia. Methods: This was an observational analytic study with a retrospective cohort approach. The study included 29 subjects aged 6–18 years with refractive amblyopia. Visual acuity was assessed in subjects who met the inclusion criteria. Eyeglasses were prescribed and visual development was monitored. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was re-evaluated after one and six months of wearing glasses. Results: A total of 15,387 pediatric patients were screened, of whom 144 (0.94%) were diagnosed with refractive amblyopia. Twenty-nine subjects met the inclusion criteria. Significant improvements in visual acuity were observed at one month (P = 0.045) and six months (P = 0.002) after spectacle use. At one month, 37.5% of eyes improved by one line, while at six months, 31.8% showed similar improvement. The difference in effectiveness between one and six months was not statistically significant (P = 0.484). Conclusions: Spectacle correction alone is effective in improving visual acuity in children with refractive amblyopia.
