Abstract

Refractive errors are the leading cause of visual impairment among school-aged children. Early detection is essential, particularly in children who have difficulty providing subjective responses. Objective refraction instruments, such as autorefractors and non-cycloplegic retinoscopes, can be used as alternatives. This study aimed to compare the objective refraction results obtained using an autorefractor and a non-cycloplegic retinoscope, and to determine which instrument provides results most closely aligned with subjective refraction. This cross-sectional study involved 196 students aged 7 to 12 years from SDN 17 Kebon Jeruk. Each participant underwent refractive examinations using all three methods. The spherical equivalent (SE) results were compared within a tolerance of ±0.25 diopters (D) and analyzed using the McNemar test. The findings showed that the non-cycloplegic retinoscope produced results significantly closer to subjective refraction (p < 0.001), with agreement rates of 83.7% in the right eye and 87.2% in the left eye. In comparison, the autorefractor showed agreement rates of 55.6% and 62.8%, respectively. The SE differences with the retinoscope were also smaller and more consistent. In conclusion, the non-cycloplegic retinoscope provides refractive values that are more comparable to subjective results than the autorefractor, making it a more recommended instrument for refractive screening in elementary school children.

Abstract

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide and often goes undetected until the advanced stages. Risk factors include advanced age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and refractive errors such as myopia and hypermetropia. Objective: To describe the demographic and clinical profile of glaucoma patients at UKRIDA Hospital, West Jakarta. Methods: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Data were obtained from the medical records of glaucoma patients examined at UKRIDA Hospital between July 2024 and March 2025. The variables analyzed included age, gender, systemic diseases, refractive errors, and intraocular pressure (IOP). Results: Most patients were over 70 years old (39.7%) and male (61.6%). A total of 49.3% had systemic diseases, primarily hypertension. The most common refractive error was myopia (45.2%). Elevated IOP was found in 26.0% of right eyes and 31.5% of left eyes. Conclusion: Glaucoma patients at UKRIDA Hospital are predominantly elderly males with risk factors such as hypertension and myopia. The presence of normal IOP in many cases suggests the possibility of normal-tension glaucoma. Broader screening and public education are needed for early detection.

Abstract

Vitamin A deficiency remains a public health issue, particularly among early childhood populations. Night blindness is one of the early consequences of vitamin A deficiency, which can be prevented through adequate nutritional intake. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s eating habits from an early age. Objective of research is to determine the relationship between parents’ knowledge level and the pattern of vitamin A and daily food intake in the prevention of night blindness in early childhood in Sawah Baru Subdistrict. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires and structured interviews with 111 respondents who were parents of children aged 3 to 7 years. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The majority of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (57.7%), and their children's patterns of vitamin A and daily food intake were also in the moderate category. Statistical tests showed no significant relationship between parents' knowledge level and vitamin A intake patterns (p=0.133) or daily food intake (p=0.848). Parents' knowledge alone is not sufficient to ensure optimal feeding behavior in the prevention of night blindness. Other factors such as family economy and dietary habits also play a role.

Abstract

Abstract Accommodation is the eye’s ability to adjust focus on objects at varying distances. Disorders in this function, such as accommodative insufficiency or excess, can cause visual symptoms like asthenopia (eye strain), commonly experienced by students involved in prolonged near work. Objective: This study aimed to determine the correlation between accommodative disorders and asthenopia among FKIK UKRIDA students, class of 2024. Methods: A descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 148 students selected through total sampling. Accommodative disorders were assessed using the RAF Rule following refraction, while asthenopia was measured using a standardized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Results: Of the 148 students, 89 (60.1%) had accommodative disorders, and 84 (56.8%) experienced asthenopia. Among those with accommodative disorders, 76 (85.4%) also reported asthenopia. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant correlation between accommodative disorders and asthenopia. Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between accommodative disorders and asthenopia among FKIK UKRIDA students. Regular eye examinations and visual health education are recommended to prevent and manage visual discomfort in student populations.

Abstract

Stereopsis is the highest binocular vision ability which is very important in children's visual development. Especially in supporting the learning process and daily activities. Refractive disorders such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism that are not properly corrected can inhibit the development of stereopsis. Objective: To determine the stereopsis ability based on the type of refractive disorder that has been corrected in students of SDN 11 Pagi and SDN 17 Kebon Jeruk in 2025. Method: This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 792 students who had their refractive disorders corrected and met the inclusion criteria. Results: Of the total 792 students, 465 students had refractive disorders, with the highest proportion of compound myopic astigmatism (27.9%). This group also showed the highest percentage of subnormal stereopsis (33.5%). In addition, of the 115 students with subnormal conditions, many (51.3%) were accompanied by anisometropia. Conclusion: There are differences in stereopic abilities in children based on corrected refractive errors, groups with a combination of refractive errors accompanied by anisometropia mostly experience subnormal stereopsis. Therefore, it is important to do early detection and correct refractive errors appropriately to support the development of binocular vision and children's learning achievements so that they are maximized.

Abstract

Refractive errors and color vision deficiencies are common visual health issues among school-aged children and can negatively affect learning performance and quality of life. Early detection is essential to minimize their academic impact. This study aims to determine the prevalence of refractive errors and the characteristics of color vision among students at two public elementary schools at Kebon Jeruk in 2025. This is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach. Data were collected through visual acuity tests using a Snellen chart and color vision screening using Ishihara test book on students who met the inclusion criteria. Of the 792 students examined, the prevalence of refractive errors was 458 (57.8%). The most common type of refractive error was myopia with astigmatism 203 (25.66%), followed by astigmatism 144 (18.20%), myopia 77 (9.70%), hypermetropia with astigmatism 25 (3.20%) and hypermetropia 9 (1.1%). Meanwhile, color vision deficiencies were found in 16 (2%) , all of whom were male and had protan and deutan types. The prevalence of refractive errors among elementary school students is relatively high, while color vision deficiencies are less common. Based on the research results, regular eye examinations and education about eye health are crucial for early detection and treatment to support students' learning process.

Abstract

Preschool age is a critical phase in children's visual development. Refractive errors such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism often go undetected due to limited communication abilities in young children. Early detection is essential to prevent negative impacts on growth and learning achievement. The Lea Symbols Test is an effective visual screening method, especially for children who have not yet learned to read. Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and types of refractive errors in preschool children in Sawah Baru Subdistrict, South Tangerang, using the Lea Symbols Test. Method: This is a descriptive quantitative study using a survey approach. The sample consisted of 123 children aged 3–7 years from three kindergartens in the area. Visual acuity was assessed using the Lea Symbols chart, followed by subjective refraction using trial lenses. Data were analyzed univariately. Results: The findings showed that 38.2% of children had refractive errors in the right eye and 40.7% in the left eye. Myopia was the most common type (17.9%), followed by astigmatism (9.8%) and hypermetropia (8.1%). Most respondents were aged 5–6 years. The Lea Symbols Test proved effective in identifying visual acuity in early childhood. Conclusion: The prevalence of refractive errors in preschool children is relatively high, with myopia being the most common. Routine eye examinations and parental education are essential for early detection and management.

Abstract

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that not only affects the skin, but is also closely related to various systemic comorbidities. This literature review aims to examine the relationship between psoriasis and systemic comorbidities based on various recent studies. Methodology: Literature reviews made based on articles and journals are adjusted to the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Journals were searched in medical databases through Pubmed, Google Scholar, Neliti, and Cochrane Library, using the keywords "psoriasis", "systemic comorbidity", "hypertension", "obesity", "diabetes mellitus", "coronary artery disease", "dyslipidemia" and "stroke". Results: From the 12 selected journals, it was found that systemic comorbidities such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia and stroke were related to psoriasis. Psoriasis patients have a higher risk of experiencing these comorbidities compared to the general population, especially in cases with moderate to severe severity. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that psoriasis patients have a higher risk of experiencing comorbidities. Therefore, psoriasis should be viewed as a systemic disease that requires a multidisciplinary approach in management to reduce the risk of complications and improve the quality of life of patients. Further research is needed to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies for comorbidities in psoriasis patients. Keywords: psoriasis, systemic comorbidity, metabolic syndrome

Abstract

Background: viscosity or viscosity is a physical property that characterizes the resistance to a fluid flow. Fluids have both Newtonian and non-Newtonian properties. Viscosity is divided into blood and plasma viscosity. One of the pathological conditions that can affect blood and plasma viscosity is thalassemia. Thalassemia is a disorder of imperfect globin chain formation resulting in imperfect erythrocyte formation. In 2021, 10,670 cases of thalassemia were reported. The viscosity value in the thalassemia group currently does not have a definite value. Objective: this study involved 57 people who were divided into a control group and a thalassemia group. The control group samples will undergo 5 cc of venous blood collection for a complete hematology and viscosity examination using a digital neo microcapillary device (NMD), but the thalassemia group samples will be taken from the remaining blood for hematology examination before transfusion and viscosity examination. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using t – test and Mann Whitney test with p < 0.05.Results: it was found that the thalassemia group had a blood viscosity value of 5.67 ± 1.72 cP and plasma viscosity of 3.29 ± 1.2 cP Conclusion: blood viscosity and plasma viscosity in the thalassemia group were higher compared to controls
