Want Always Healthy Eyes? Here are the tips!<\/a><\/h3>
Sahabat Hermina, the eyes are a very important organ for humans. Maintaining eye health can prevent you from various risks of eye disease and even loss of vision. \n\n Tired eyes are usually characterized by soreness around the eyes and a dry feeling that makes vision blurry in some people. Apart from tired eyes, there are many other eye problems that can arise if you don't pay attention or maintain good eye health. \n\n To maintain good eye sight, Hermina's Friends can do the following tips: \n\n \n Maintain Your Diet \n \n\n Daily food intake can actually affect eye health. So that your sense of sight is always healthy, try to regularly consume lots of foods that contain vitamins C and E, omega-3 fatty acids, iron and lutein. These various nutrients can be obtained by consuming lots of green leafy vegetables, salmon, tuna, eggs, nuts and oranges. \n\n \n Give Your Eyes Time to Rest \n \n\n Staring at a computer or laptop screen for too long can also increase the risk of eye damage. This can cause dry and tense eyes, blurred vision, neck pain, headaches, shoulder and back pain, and difficulty focusing when looking at a distance. To prevent this, apply the 20-20-20 rule, namely every 20 minutes, look away 20 feet (about 6 meters) for at least 20 seconds. \n\n \n Diligent in Sports \n \n\n Exercise can reduce the risk of vision loss due to high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. \n\n \n Get your health checked Points Periodically \n \n\n Routine eye examinations can be the best way to prevent damage. This is because an eye examination can monitor the condition of this area and any disorders or health problems that arise can be immediately detected. It is recommended that people, both elderly and young, both men and women, should have their eyes checked regularly by an ophthalmologist at least once every 2 years. Adults over 40 years of age are advised to have their eyes checked once a year. This can be useful for preventing eye diseases associated with increasing age, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. \n\n Meanwhile, children's eye health should be checked at least once every two years to detect vision problems that might affect their learning abilities. Children do not need to be able to read to have an eye examination. \n\n \n Wear sunglasses when doing outdoor activities \n \n\n UV rays from the sun can also cause eye damage. One way to maintain eye health is to use sunglasses when doing outdoor activities that are exposed to a lot of sunlight. Using sunglasses can protect the eyes from direct exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Using sunglasses can block UVA and UVB rays. The same thing also applies to the contact lenses you use. To protect your eyes better, choose contact lenses that can provide protection from UV rays. \n\n So, let's start diligently getting your eyes checked to avoid eye diseases that can eliminate your ability to see. Stay healthy. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Working In Front Of Computer For Hours? Go Easy on Your the Eyes!<\/a><\/h3>
Will my minus eyes increase from looking at the screen too much? \n\n Why do my eyes feel tired, sore, even watery if I look at the screen for too long? \n\n Can radiation goggles help reduce the harm caused by screen viewing? \n\n Do I always have to wear my glasses? \n\n What happens if I rarely wear the glasses that the doctor prescribes? \n\n Working in front of a screen all day is inevitable. However, it is essential to take care of our eyes. Eyes are one of the most important organs and poor eye health can lead to various health complications. \n\n Some tips to prevent those problems. \n\n \n\n \n Adjust Your Monitor Position \n \n\n The main cause of eye problems is placing the monitor too high. Our eyes work better and more focus when looking slightly downwards rather than straight ahead. In addition to tiring the eyes, reading a computer screen while looking straight ahead can also dry out the eyes, because the eyelids must be wider open. If you wear contact lenses, the dryness of the eyes will worsen. \n\n \n Pay Attention to Ambient Lighting \n \n\n When calculating, if you normally see dark text on a light background, the room lights should be brighter than if you normally see light text on a dark background. If you can't adjust the lighting, consider wearing eye protection to protect your eyes. Light text on a dark background can make the eyes more comfortable. \n\n \n Rest Your Eyes \n \n\n Our eyes are not designed to see at close range for hours without distraction. If the eye remains focused on a particular point for a long time, the eye’s lens will become stuck at that focal point, which can cause squint and eye muscle fatigue, also difficulty of reading traffic signs on the road, among other things at night. “20/20/20 rule.” Take a 20-second break every 20 minutes, focusing your eyes on points at least 20 feet away from the computer screen. Keep your eyes moving while looking at objects at various distances. \n\n \n Wear the Right Glasses \n \n\n If you normally wear glasses or contact lenses and are around 45 years old, you may need special vision correction for computer work. Computer screens are not typical near-distance reading or typical long-distance driving; rather they are at intermediate distance. \n\n \n\n If you experience problems with vision, immediately consult an ophthalmologist, according to your vision problems. One of the health problems related to aging that is quite a lot to complain about is problems with the eyes and vision. These diseases include macular degeneration, night blindness, glaucoma, and cataracts. If there are symptoms of eye disease, or a history of the above eye diseases, it is necessary to see an ophthalmologist regularly. To choose the proper ophthalmologist, you can ask for recommendation to your relatives, family, or doctors. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Importance of Cataract Screening<\/a><\/h3>
Cataract is a condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. The incidence of cataracts is often found in the elderly and usually occurs due to the aging process. The incidence of cataract cases is among the highest which can cause blindness.\n\nCataract is a clouding of the eye's lens or lens capsule that changes the image projected on the retina. This disorder is not a tumor or growth of tissue in the eye, but the condition of the lens that becomes cloudy\n\nThe most common causes of blindness in Indonesia:\nCataract 0.78%\nGlaucoma 0.20%\nRefractive Disorder 0.14%\nRetinal Disorder 0.13%\nCorneal Abnormalities 0.10%\n\nThe main cause of cataracts is the aging process. Factors that can trigger cataracts include the following:\nGenetic factors Systemic diseases such as inflammation and metabolism, eg diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia. Deficiency of vitamins A, B1, B2 and C.\nFamily history of cataracts\nInfectious disease or previous eye injury\neye surgery\nLong-term use of certain drugs (corticosteroids)\nEnvironmental factors, such as trauma, radiation, and ultraviolet light.\n\nWhen should we do an eye exam on a child?\n\nAt birth, especially if you have risk factors for prematurity, there are signs of eye disease and a family history of eye disease as a child\n\n3-5 years old, sharp eyesight, squint, lazy eye\n\nAge 5 years and over Myopia (nearsightedness) often at this age, Sharpness of vision and eyeball position\n\nWhen should we have an eye exam?\n\nIf there are no complaints Age 40 years Can identify eye diseases that usually occur at the age of 40 years and over such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts\n\nIf there are complaints or have risk factors: DM, hypertension, family history of eye disease, don't delay, consult a doctor immediately\n\n\nProcedures that can be done for cataracts\n\nNON SURGERY\nPrevention:\nBalanced diet\nSun exposure glasses\nPrevent PPE trauma\nBlood sugar control\n\nSURGERY\nICCE (Intra Capsular Cataract Extraction)\nECCE (Extra Capsular Cataract Extraction)\nPhacoemulsification\n\nWhen to go to the doctor....?\nIf Friends of Hermina have the problems described above, you should consult with an Ophthalmologist dr.

Complete Peel Cataract Surgery Without Sutures (Phacoemulsification)<\/a><\/h3>
Eyes are one of the body's senses that function to see. Eyes can adjust to distance and light when looking at objects. Damage to the eye can also occur in every human being. This can cause a person to experience decreased vision function to cause blindness. Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness, but they are not permanent. \n\n Cataract is a condition in which the lens of the eye turns cloudy or cloudy. In our eyes, the eye lens serves as a tool to focus the incoming light from the pupil to the retina. If the lens of the eye has become cloudy, the visual acuity will be impaired, so further examination is needed to determine whether cataract surgery is necessary. One of the obstacles to the high number of cases of blindness due to cataracts is the lack of information about proper management. Many think the surgery is horrific, causes bleeding and takes a long time to recover. \n\n Did you know that current technology has grown more sophisticated, including in the health sector, one of which is a cataract surgery technique without stitches, or what is known as phacoemulsification (phacoemulsification). \n\n What is Phacoemulsification? \nPhacoemulsification is a cataract surgery technique using an ultrasonic wavy machine. Phacoemulsification aims to improve the vision of patients who are impaired due to cataracts. In phacoemulsification, the cataract will be crushed into small fragments and sucked through a probe the size of a pencil, then an implanted lens is placed according to the patient's refractive size. After surgery, further hospitalization is not required and the patient can go home immediately. \n\n Why is Phacoemulsification necessary? \n\n This procedure is done to restore the patient's vision that is blurred or cloudy due to cataracts. Signs and symptoms of cataracts can include: \n\n \n Blurred vision like fog/foggy glass \n Fog when you see the light \n Reduced color contrast \n Frequently changing eyeglass sizes \n Colors appear paler or yellowish \n Double vision when looking with eyes that have cataracts \n At first, cataracts only occur in a small part of the eye's lens. So the patient may not be aware of any visual disturbances. \n \n\n Over time, cataracts will make the lens more cloudy and interfere with the passage of light through the lens. Symptoms in the form of blurred vision will begin to be felt by the patient. \n\n What are the advantages of Phacoemulsification? \nSome of the advantages of cataract surgery using the Phaco Emulsification technique include: \n\n \n Very small incision (± 2.75 mm) \n Fast processing (± 15 minutes) \n No Stitch \n Patients can go home immediately after surgery \n Faster treatment and recovery \n Can be performed at all levels of cataract \n Reduces pain, stiffness and discomfort after surgery \n \n\n Hermina Pandanaran General Hospital has opened cataract treatment services with the Phacoemulsification technique. With modern surgical techniques, Friends of Hermina do not need to hesitate because with this technique healing is faster and there is no need to stay in the hospital so that they can immediately return to their activities. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Know Eye Refraction Disorders and How to Prevent Them<\/a><\/h3>
Eye refraction is the process of entering light from the front of the eye (cornea, pupil, retina) to refract it right on the retina (back of the eye). That way, objects can be seen clearly. The most common vision problem is an eye refractive error. People who have problems with eye refraction will complain of blurry vision when looking at objects that are far, near, or both. \n\n Types of Refractive Eyes \n\n 1. Far Far (Miopi) \n\n People with nearsightedness or myopia can see objects that are far away clearly, but have difficulty seeing objects that are far away. This condition occurs when light entering the eye falls in front of the retina. Severe myopia can increase the risk of retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma. \n\n 2. Farsightedness (hypermetropy) \n\n Farsightedness is the opposite of myopia. People with farsightedness or hypermetropy can see objects that are far away clearly, but have difficulty seeing objects that are close. This condition makes the sufferer find it difficult to read writing that is close to the eye. Farsightedness occurs when light entering the eye falls behind the retina. Farsightedness can also cause eye muscle strain, so that sufferers easily get dizzy and have headaches. \n\n 3. Cylindrical eye (Astigmatism) \n\n Cylindrical eye conditions can occur together with farsightedness and farsightedness. Cylindrical eye or astigmatism is a vision disorder that occurs due to defects in the cornea or lens arch. This condition causes vision to be blurred or shaded, both when looking at objects that are near or far away. \n\n 4. Old eyes (Presbyopia) \n\n Old eye or presbyopia is a condition that occurs when the lens of the eye becomes stiff, making it difficult to refract and focus light on the retina of the eye. This stiffness of the eye lens occurs due to the aging process. This condition is normal for the elderly or adults over 45 years of age. \n\n Signs and Symptoms of Eye Refractive Disorders \n\n There are various signs and symptoms of an eye refractive error, but the most common is not being able to see objects clearly. Some of the common signs and symptoms of refractive errors include: \n\n \n Blurred or ghosting vision \n Often squinting to see objects clearly \n It's hard to focus when reading books, watching TV, and looking at computer or gadget screens \n Eyes like fog \n Eyes sensitive or glare to too bright lighting \n Eyes glare or see halos around bright light \n Headache \n Eyes are strained \n \n\n Risk Factors for Eye Refraction Disorders \n\n Anyone can actually experience refractive errors. However, there are several risk factors that cause visual disturbances, namely: \n\n Genetics or heredity \nHaving a family member who has myopic eyes increases your risk of experiencing the same thing. \n\n Age \nMost cases of nearsightedness begin as a child. While presbyopia is a vision disorder that generally affects people aged 40 years or more. \n\n Eye disease or other genetic disorders \nIf you experience cataracts or glaucoma, complications of other diseases such as diabetes, and genetic disorders in the eye, then Friends of Hermina are at risk of experiencing refractive errors. \n\n Prevention of Refractive Eye Disorders \n\n Tips for preventing eye refractive errors can be done by implementing eye health behaviors, including: \n\n \n \n Read in a sitting position with sufficient lighting, the distance between the eyes and the book is at least 30 cm \n \n \n Resting your eyes after 1-2 hours of activity with your eyes (reading, watching television, using computers, etc.) \n \n \n Consume a healthy and nutritionally balanced diet \n \n \n\n \n\n If Friends of Hermina experience complaints about the eyes, immediately consult an ophthalmologist at Hermina Pandanaran Hospital.
