Abstract

Introduction: Flap striae is the most common postoperative complication, with a frequency ranging from 0.033% to 3.5%, according to studies involving over 1000 ocular cases. There is only one case in our hospital in 2023. In this case report, we will present a case of flap striae in a tertiary hospital because our findings are unusual and essential in symptomatic therapy and visual rehabilitation. Case Presentation: A 19-year-old female came with a chief complaint of impaired vision in her left eye for the past two weeks, followed by inability to focus, discomfort of the eye, a sensation of foreign body, and glare that occurred three days after she underwent bilateral myopia laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery. A post-LASIK assessment found that both eyes had visual acuity 10/10, and the left eye's visual acuity dropped to 6/10. Slit lamp examination revealed flap striae were running from the superonasal to the inferolateral quadrant. The thickness disparities were measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT), ranging from 653 to 689 μm. The OCT pictures revealed a gap on the temporal side as well. This patient was diagnosed with flap striae and a flap repositioning procedure was performed. Conclusions: A flap repositioning surgery was performed to increase visual acuity and eliminate striae.

Abstract

Highlights: POAG is a common type of glaucoma. POAG patients were predominantly >60 years old, with males being more dominant than females.   Abstract Introduction: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a progressive, chronic optic neuropathy characterized by distinct optic nerve atrophy and impairment of the visual field. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of primary open-angle glaucoma patients in the ophthalmology outpatient clinic of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, in 2013–2015. Methods: This was a descriptive-retrospective study. Samples were patients with a primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) diagnosis in the ophthalmology outpatient clinic at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, in 2013–2015. Results: There were 88 samples of POAG patients in the ophthalmology outpatient clinic at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, in 2013–2015. POAG was dominated in the age group 60–69 years old, with a percentage of 37.50%. Males were more dominant than females, with a percentage of 55.70%. Many POAG patients were unemployed, with a percentage of 56.82%. Most patients with POAG did not have a history of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, with a percentage of 73.86%. Patients who had a history of hypertension were 11.36%, those with diabetes mellitus were 9.09%, and those who had a history of both hypertension and diabetes mellitus were 5.68%. Conclusion: POAG was a higher risk in older adults, with males being more dominant than females. Most patients did not have a history of either hypertension or diabetes mellitus.
