Bacterial conjunctivitis is an infection of the eye caused by bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, or Haemophilus. Based on 30% of visits in the Department of Eye Disease in the United States, 15% are conjunctivitis complaints caused by bacteria and virus, and 15% are conjunctivitis complaints caused by allergy. A common complication of conjunctivitis is the decreased visual acuity that greatly affects the patient in performing daily activities. Aim: This study aimed to determine the knowledge level of semester VI students of Doctor Education Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, toward conjunctivitis. Method: The samples were 70 people with 10% relative accuracy. Sampling was done by random sampling technique. The data were collected by using questionnaire technique. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. Result: The result of the students' knowledge level on bacterial conjunctivitis was 62 respondents (89%) were in good category, 8 respondents (11%) were in moderate category, and none for poor category (0) as well. The knowledge level of the respondent toward bacterial conjunctivitis at the age of 21 years was quite good, that were 31 people (44.5%). Respondents with moderate knowledge level at the age of 21 years were 5 people. Conclusion: The result of the test shows that the level of students' knowledge on bacterial conjunctivitis is that 62 respondents (89%) are in good category. Therefore, to the management of Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, this research is expected to be used as a reference in formulating various learning strategies, so the learning achievement can be improved.
Introduction: Cataract is a type of eye disease that occurs in the lens of the eye. Cataract occurs not only due to the age factor, but also can occur in children born with these conditions or congenital factors. This study aimed to find out visual acuity outcome after senile cataract surgery at RSUP Sanglah Denpasar on October 2016-June 2017 period. Method: The type of this research was descriptive cross-sectional conducted at RSUP of Sanglah Denpasar using the medical records of the period of October 2016-June 2017. The sampling technique used the total sampling, with the number of samples of 32 subjects. The result of this research was processed by using a computer software. Result: The postoperative patients with poor outcome tended to be experienced by the senile cataract of mature group compared to the immature that was around 9.1%, borderline outcome tended to be experienced by group with immature senile cataract of 23.8% while the dominant senile cataract outcome was 81.8%. Patients undergoing SICS procedures tended to have a poor outcome compared to those undergoing a phacoemulsification procedure of 16.7%. Borderline outcome tended to the group undergoing phacoemulsification procedures, and 83.3% of the good outcome tended to be experienced by the group undergoing SICS procedures. Conclusion: This research concludes that good outcome come from cataract senile mature group (81.8%) and the group that doing SICS procedure (83.3%
Pterygium is an eye disease with multifactorial etiopathogenesis. Molecular factors such as cell proliferation and inflammatory mediators are associated with increased calcium mobilization and activation of nuclear factor kβ mediated by histamine-1 receptors (H1R). This study aims to determine whether the expression of H1R primary pterygium tissue is higher than normal conjunctival tissue and the expression of H1R based on pterygium grades. This study was an analytic observational study with a case-control study approach at Sanglah General Hospital, Bali Mandara Eye Hospital, and Mangusada Hospital. The study was conducted from November 2017 to April 2018. The pterygium and conjunctival tissues obtained from 28 subjects in the same eye and examined for H1R expression by immunohistochemistry. The results of this study obtained 64.3% of women with a mean age of 54.2 ± 7.8 years. There was no difference in mean H1R expression between pterygium grades in the final score (P = 0.759). There was a mean difference of H1R between primary pterygium (42.50) and normal conjunctival tissue (14.50) with P <0.001. Only tissue types affected the expression of H1R in the final score (B = 4.893; 95% CI 4.363-5.423; P <0.001). It was concluded that the expression of H1R primary pterygium tissue was higher in primary pterygium than normal conjunctival tissue.
Introduction: Ptosis is a drooping or inferodisplacement of the upper eyelid. The most common type of congenital ptosis results from a poorly developed levator muscle. Marked ptosis that obstruct vision must be corrected in infancy to prevent amblyopia. Correction of bilateral congenital ptosis with significant amblyopia was performed in this case. The choice of surgery technique is frontalis suspension. Method: A case report of 12 years old boy with decrease of visual acuity since four years ago with dropping of both upper eyelid present at birth. Detail opthalmology examination on both eyes show an amblyopia, margin reflex distance-1, levator function is less than 4 mm, and postural change (chin lift). Correction of bilateral ptosis with frontalis suspension was performed and refraction measurement had done after correction. Result: The frontalis suspension give a good result in cosmetic with margin reflex distance +5 and +4, sixth month after correction. However, amblyopia persist after correction of ptosis and patient use a spectacles corresponding with best refraction measurement. Discussion: Correction bilateral congenital ptosis with visual axis occluded must be done in infancy to prevent amblyopia. Correction bilateral congenital ptosis with frontalis suspension give a good result in margin reflex distance and cosmetic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
