“…A previous study reported that the prevalence of pterygium in Perokonda Village adults is 10.7%. 4 In contrast, we found a prevalence of 5% in children from the same village. These findings suggest that there may be an increasing trend in the proportion of UVR eye diseases from time to time.…”

“…Among those with cataract, fisherman was the most common occupation (6.4%), while only 0.3% were students. 4 Based on those results, we suggested that the high prevalence of pterygium and cataract in adults might be initiated by high UV radiation from the early stages of life.…”

“…A 2016 survey to determine the distribution of ocular problems in adults in Southwest Sumba found that cataract and pterygium were prevalent (12.8% and 10.7%, respectively), possibly owing to the constant exposure to UV without protection. 4 Although the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment in UV-exposed individuals has been reported in adults, it has not been studied in children. This study aimed to determine the predisposing factors to UV-related (UVR) ocular problems in children with constant UV exposure.…”

Background A previous study has shown a high proportion of visual impairment and blindness in the adults of Southwest Sumba, Indonesia due to ultraviolet-radiation (UVR)- related ocular problems, such as cataract and pterygium. Currently, there is no data regarding the effect of ultraviolet (UV) exposure on children and its future implications. Objective To seek the predisposing factors of UVR ocular problems in the children of Southwest Sumba. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Perokonda Village, Southwest Sumba in May 2017. A total of 337 children <16 years old were examined for ocular problems by ophthalmologists. Subjects with ocular problems were then treated accordingly. Results Visual acuity was normal in 98.2% of subjects. Visual impairment and blindness were found in 1.2% and 0.3% of subjects, respectively. Ocular problems were found in 38%, consisting of conjunctival pigment deposits (60.2%), pinguecula (15.6%), and pterygium (13.3%). The UVR ocular problems constituted 33.8% of all ocular problems, comprising conjunctival pigment deposits (22.8%), pinguecula (6%), and pterygium (5%). Conclusion The proportion of UVR ocular problems in the children of Perokonda village is 34.5%, the most common of which being conjunctival pigment deposits. Such deposits may be early signs of UVR ocular problems. This study serves as a platform to highlight the possible relationship between pigment deposits and future UVR ocular problems, which warrants further study.

“…Another study conducted in an underdeveloped village in Southwest Sumba similarly showed high proportions of non-infectious diseases such as presbyopia (30.8%), cataract (12.8%), refractive errors (11.3%), and pterygium (10.7%). 8 Dry eye, a consequence of hyperosmolarity from tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface, comprised 11.4% of cases in this study. Dry eye is a multifactorial disease and can be etiologically classified into the following two categories: aqueous tear deficiency and loss of fluid due to evaporation.…”

Background: This study aimed to determine the profile of eye diseases at Karitas Hospital in Southwest Sumba during 2015.Methods: The cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted by analyzing medical records of 1706 patients who presented with eye complaints at Karitas Hospital, Southwest Sumba, in 2015. Complete medical records were recovered from 1363 patients, who served as subjects for this study.Results: Thirty-six percent of subjects were elderly (>55 years old) and 9.9% were children (<18 years old). Female patients comprised 56.4% of the study population and males 43.6%. Non-infectious eye diseases dominated (89.8%; 95%CI: 88.2%–91.4%) compared to infectious diseases (8.2%; 95%CI: 6.7%–9.7%) and mixed cases (2%; 95%CI: 1.3%–2.7%). Avoidable causes of blindness, cataract (34%), and refractive error (17.3%), were mostly found among non-infectious cases, while conjunctivitis (52.7%) and keratitis (17%) were the most commonly encountered infectious diseases.Conclusion: Eye diseases at Karitas Hospital in Southwest Sumba mostly comprised non-infectious diseases. The most commonly noted non-infectious diseases were cataracts and refractive errors, while conjunctivitis and keratitis were the most commonly found infectious diseases. Due to the high amount of patients seeking eye care within Southwest Sumba, ophthalmologists and proper equipment are needed at the Karitas Hospital.

LATAR BELAKANGEmetropia adalah kondisi mata yang tidak memiliki kelainan refraksi atau mata normal. Sinar sejajar yang datang dari jarak tak berhingga akan difokuskan tepat di retina (makula). Sedangkan kondisi mata yang memiliki kelainan refraksi dikenal dengan ametropia, yaitu sinar sejajar yang datang dari jarak tak berhingga tidak dapat difokuskan tepat di makula. Ametropia terdiri dari miopia, hipermetropia dan astigmatisme. Astigmastisme adalah keadaan di mana sinar-sinar sejajar tidak dibiaskan pada satu titik fokus. Pengukuran astigmatisme dilakukan dengan obyektif dan subyektif. Secara obyektif dilakukan pengukuran keratometri dengan alat keratometer. Pengukuran secara subjektif dilakukan dengan pemeriksaan refraksi. Kedua hasil pengukuran tersebut dapat berbeda sehingga dapat berpengaruh pada tatalaksananya. Pengukuran astigmatisme kornea yang tepat sangat penting pada tatalaksanan astigmatisme. Oleh karena itu, peneliti tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui ketepatan hasil pengukuran keratometri dengan ukuran astigmatisme pada ametropia. METODEPenelitian ini menggunakan desain analitik observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Penelitian dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Masmitra, Bekasi pada bulan Februari-April 2019 dengan sampel 186 mata. Data keratometri dan astigmatisme didapatkan dari rekam medis yang dilakukan oleh dokter spesialis mata. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-square dengan tingkat kemaknaan sebesar 0.05. HASILAnalisis Chi-square menunjukkan astigmatisme lebih banyak ditemukan pada usia lansia (p=0.785). Tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara ketepatan hasil pengukuran keratometeri dengan astigmatisme pada berbagai kelompok usia (p=0.062). KESIMPULANTidak terdapat hubungan antara ketepatan hasil keratometri dan astigmatisme pada ametropia.
