BANYUWANGI – Hospital (RS) Yasmin Banyuwangi always tries to provide the best service for patients. This time, Yasmin Hospital specifically presents the latest equipment, i.e. ultrasound of the eye. Ultrasound of the eye is a sophisticated tool specifically designed to be used to see abnormalities in the organs inside the eyeball.
Especially if the abnormality cannot be seen through the pupillary slit or eye beads due to cloudiness of the visual media. For example, because there is a cataract or there is confusion in the front layer of the eyeball (come).
The examination technique with this tool resembles an ultrasound examination in general. It does not cause pain or side effects to the patient and is very effective in finding abnormalities in the eyeball.
For example, finding a tumor, bleeding in the eyeball, or know the occurrence of Ablatio ritina, namely detachment of the retina (optic nerve) which causes decreased vision. Apart from eye ultrasound, Yasmin Hospital is also equipped with a Biometry tool which functions to determine the size of the implanted lens or Intra Ocular Lens. (IOL) which will be installed during cataract surgery.
So that optimal vision results will be obtained after surgery. Apart from eye ultrasound, Yasmin Hospital can also provide cataract surgery using the SICS method, which is a cataract surgery technique that requires a small incision in the eyeball..
Then remove the cataract lens and replace it with an artificial intraocular lens. The results of this technique are almost the same as the results of the phacoemulsification technique, which is an operation technique using a machine that is usually only available in big cities., This SICS technique also does not require stitches.
so the healing process is faster. Not only that, The cost required is cheaper than phacomulsification. So it can be concluded that with the SICS procedure there are several advantages compared to cataract surgery with the usual procedure. That is a smaller incision, faster operation process, without stitches, care, and faster recovery.
Cataract is a clouding of the eye lens. This disorder usually causes complaints in patients. These include blurred vision. It's like being covered in fog, it's getting heavier and heavier. Sometimes accompanied by a feeling of glare if exposed to light. Both from the headlights and the sun. Then, the last stage for cataract sufferers can only distinguish between dark and light.
According to an ophthalmologist, Dr. Dina Wahyu Wibawati, SpM, for the detection of eye abnormalities, healthy adults should have their eyes checked at least every 1 once a year. For children 6 once a month.
"Meanwhile, for someone who has been diagnosed with an eye disorder, it is better to have a routine eye examination as recommended by a doctor.",” Dina's message.
