Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Dry eye is a multifactorial disease that affects tear production. Furthermore, the secretion of tears is significantly reduced in patients with HIV. This study aimed to determine whether these changes would make differences in the morphology of corneal endothelial cells. Methods : Our research used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional approach at the Waihaong Health Center in Ambon City and the Ambon Vlissingen Eye Clinic in March 2023. The sample for this study came from 40 HIV-positive patients who had previously been examined by an ophthalmologist and were diagnosed with dry eye syndrome. Chi-Square analyses were conducted to determine differences in corneal endothelial cell morphology (Cell density, coefficient of variation, hexagonal cells). Results : This study showed that of the 80 eyes of people living with HIV examined, 43,8% had dry eyes. No abnormal hexagonality was found in the corneal endothelial cells in all eyes examined. Decreased endothelial cell density was found in only four eye (5%). Although no significant difference was found for the coefficient of variation of corneal endothelial cells between dry eyes and those without (p=0.764), this study showed that the percentage of coefficient of variation of corneal endothelial cells that were increased/abnormal was higher in dry eye conditions (34.3%) compared to non-dry eyes (31.1%). Conclusion : This study showed no significant differences in the morphology of the corneal endothelial cells of HIV patients with dry eyes. Further research is required with a larger sample size.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a source of growth factor has been widely used in various therapeutic fields so that it could accelerate the wound healing process. This study investigated the effect of platelet-rich fibrin PRF in inhibiting neovascularization, inhibiting the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stimulating pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF) in the infective keratitis animal model. Methods : A total of 12 New Zealand white rabbits (Oryctalogus cuniculus) were subjected to keratitis induction by inoculation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The rabbits were divided into two groups, the first group as control was treated antibiotic-only, and the second as treatment group was treated with antibiotic and PRF graft. The corneal neovascularization area was clinically measured before and after treatment. Expression of VEGF and PEDF in the corneal epithelium, stroma, and endothelium were evaluated by immunohistochemical examination on day 10 after keratitis induction. Results : There were significant differences in VEGF expression between groups in the epithelial layer (p=0.008), but no significant difference in the stromal (p=0.934) and endothelial (p=0.935) layers. PEDF expression showed a significant difference between groups in the epithelial (p = 0.004) and stroma layers (p = 0.029) but no significant difference in the endothelial layer (p = 0.157). However, there was no significant difference in clinical neovascularization between the two groups (p=0.526). Conclusion : PRF could inhibit VEGF expression and stimulate PEDF expression in the cornea of Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis animal model that potentially reduces the corneal neovascularization in the longer observation.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Keratoconus is a progressive disease that changes the mechanical shape of the cornea due to thinning of the stromal layer of the cornea. Therefore, early detection and correct management should be able to slow the progression of the disease. This study aimed to compare changes in visual acuity and biomechanic properties of cornea in patients who underwent Corneal Collagen Cross- Linking (CXL) in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Methods : This is a prospective study that included all pediatric keratoconus patients without any underlying disease that underwent CXL between July 2022 to December 2022. Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA), Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) and Intraocular Pressure (IOP) were evaluated preoperatively, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks following CXL. Results : Mean age of patients was 11 (range 6-18 y.o). UCVA were 1.00±0.34 logMAR preoperatively, 0.95±0.35 and 0.88±0.37 logMAR at 2 and 6 weeks after CXL (P=0.27 and P=0.02, respectively). BCVA were 0.37±0.28 logMAR preoperatively, 0.46±0.28 and 0.35±0.21 logMAR at 2 and 6 weeks after CXL (P=0.05 and P=0.46, respectively). Mean IOP were 15.21±3.99 preoperatively, 14.45±2.73 and 15.21±3.68 at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after CXL (P=0.33 and P=1.00, respectively). Mean CCT were 503.09±49.43 preoperatively, 508.18±47.68 and 506.82±48.41 at 2 weeks and 6 weeks after CXL (P=0.01 and P=0.11, respectively). No complications occurred during the observation period. Conclusion : UCVA and BCVA were improved after CXL. Analysis showed no significant change for IOP and CCT after CXL procedure. Overall, CXL was safe and significantly improve UCVA and BCVA in pediatric keratoconus.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Keratitis and corneal erosion are part of eye trauma. Injury to the cornea will cause cell damage, triggering an inflammatory reaction that can increase the production of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), one of the endogenous enzymatic antioxidants works by limiting the level of inflammation of the corneal damage caused by oxidation. Objective: Determine the effect of superoxide dismutase concentrations of 2%, 3%, 5% and placebo on the healing of corneal epithelial wound lesions in white rats with corneal trauma models Methods : Experimental study pre and post-test only with control group design in vivo with 24 samples of white wistar rats that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was conducted at the Animal House Laboratory, the Biotechnology Laboratory of the UNSRI Medical Faculty and the Eureka Research Center laboratory within 6 months. Results : 5% SOD showed a smaller reduction in wound area with the largest reduction (mean 0.67cm ± 0.007) followed by SOD 3% (mean 0.67cm ± 0.005). SOD 3% and 5% significantly correlated with weak strength at 48 hours and 72 hours. A significant reduction in the area of corneal epithelial wound lesions was only seen at 48 hours. Conclusion : SOD 5% most affected the healing of corneal epithelial wound lesions, followed by SOD 3%. SOD concentrations of 3% and 5% had a significant correlation on corneal epithelial wound healing at 48 and 72 hours with weak correlation strength.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Contact lens wear has been reported to be associated with acquired blepharoptosis. This literature review aims to summarize and evaluate the risk of acquired blepharoptosis in contact lens wearers. Methods : Literature searching was conducted using three online databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase. Search terms such as “contact lens”, “ptosis”, and “blepharoptosis” were included. Reference lists of each study were also assessed for potentially relevant sources. Prospective and retrospective studies as well as meta-analyses and systematic reviews were included. Results : Using relevant search terms in various databases, a total of five articles were included in this review. Four studies suggested that wearing hard or soft contact lenses was significantly associated with blepharoptosis. One study indicated hard contact lens wearers presented blepharoptosis 17.38 times more frequently than non-wearers (OR, 17.38, 95% CI=3.71–81.29), while soft contact lens wearers had 8.12 times more risk of presenting blepharoptosis than non-wearers (OR, 8.12, 95% CI=2.68–24.87). Furthermore, long-term contact lens wear, which was 20 years or more, seemed to have a significant effect on the incidence of blepharoptosis. There was only one study which stated that hard contact lens wear did not lead to acquired blepharoptosis in this review. Conclusion : There is evidence of a clear association between hard or soft contact lens wear and an increased risk of blepharoptosis. Patients wearing contact lenses should be informed of the risk of blepharoptosis, and a history of contact lens use should be sought in all patients who have acquired blepharoptosis.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Intravenous corticosteroid has been used in management of Thyroid Eye Diseases (TED) which was an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the orbital tissues and the eyes. Previous study has shown benefits of intravenous corticosteroid therapy on TED but there was need of quantitative measure to assess the effect of intravenous corticosteroid therapy on extraocular muscle. This study aimed to report the effect of high-dose intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy on superior and inferior rectus muscle and providing data distribution of active TED before and after therapy Methods : Retrospective analyses were used in the data collection of patients with active TED underwent high- dose intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy regiment 500mg every week for six consecutive weeks at Sardjito Eye Centre between January and December 2022. Ophthalmological investigation and quantitative computed tomography (CT) scan of the orbit were performed before and after corticosteroid pulse therapy and demographics data were presented in tables and graphs Results : This study included 62 eyes of 31 patients (61,3% female) with mean age of 37.8±13.47 years old. The mean thickness of Superior Rectus (SR) muscle before therapy were 4.12±2.20 mm and decreased to 3.64±1.50 mm post therapy. The mean thickness of Inferior Rectus (IR) muscle before therapy were 4.45±1.80 mm and decreased to 4.26±1.63 mm post therapy. There was significant difference in mean ΔSR -0.47±1.84 mm (p=0.046) but not in ΔIR -0.18±1.69 (p=0.381) Conclusion : The treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) with high dose intravenous corticosteroid is safe and effective in reducing extraocular muscle tissue thickness with minimal side effects.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Eyelid laceration is one of the most common ocular injuries with complications. This study examines patient characteristics with eyelid lacerations at Kariadi General Hospital Semarang. Methods : An observational study used medical records data from April 2019 to January 2023. Age, gender, eyelids, grading, area of laceration, mechanism of trauma and injury, canthal and canalicular involvement, associated injury, and surgery were recorded. Results : From 75 patients, lacerations were more common in men (56, 75%) and ages 16-<50 years (43, 57%). Lacerations occurred in right lower (21, 28%), right upper (17, 23%), right upper and lower (16, 21%), left lower (9, 12%), left upper (8, 11%), and left upper and lower (4, 5%) eyelids. They were mainly medial (52, 69%), lateral (12, 16%), and central (7, 9%). Full-thickness lacerations (58, 77%) outnumbered lamellar thickness (17, 23%). Blunt trauma (63, 84%) was the main mechanism, with motor vehicle accidents leading 30 (40%). Canthal involvement was absent in 41 cases (55%), medial in 29 (39%), and lateral in 5 (7%). Canalicular involvement was absent in 39 cases (52%) and present in 36 (48%). The three most frequent of associated injury of the patients was 16 (21%) subconjunctival bleeding, 12 (16%) orbital hematom, 9 (12%) conjunctival laceration. All patients underwent surgery, with eyelid repair most common (32, 43%). Conclusion : Eyelid lacerations mainly involved right lower eyelid, medial region, and are full-thickness. Blunt trauma, particularly motor vehicle accidents, was the main cause. Most cases lack canthal or canalicular involvement. Eyelid repair was the most frequent choice of surgery.
