Aim: To assess the impact of practice patterns amongst global ophthalmologists during severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS Cov2) causing Corona virus disease (COVID-19) and understand the various modifications made to address emergency surgeries and practice needs. Methods: An online survey was sent to practicing ophthalmologists around the world through email, Whatsapp™ ListServ17.0™ (for pediatric ophthalmologists), WeChat™ (China) and ophthalmology associations (Indonesia, Philippines, Ireland). All queries were collected and categorized. Responses to the queries were given according to the recommendations by the Ophthalmology association. Practices ability to deal with the COVID were also classified according to country and type of access to PPE. Statistical analyses of the association between these data and queries, where appropriate were carried out. Results: One thousand nine hundred sixteen ophthalmologists were invited to participate in a survey between April 10th and April 30th, 2020 of which 1207 responded, which is a response rate of approximately 63%. The majority of respondents were from India, Indonesia, China, Singapore and the USA. Our study indicates a precipitous drop in surgical procedures with 46% (n = 538) ophthalmologists ceased to operate on their patients and almost 40% (n = 486) were doing less than 25% of their original number of surgeries. The intent to resume elective surgeries was a consideration in 41% (n = 495) after an evaluation of the situation and in consultation with professional bodies. More than 2/3 of the respondents (n = 703) made it a priority to use and mandate their patients to practice physical distancing, wearing masks, and hand dis-infection for protection to limit the spread of infection. Conclusion: This global survey provides a real-world assessment of diverse practices that were in various forms of “shut down mode” and circumstances with varying capabilities to deal with COVID. It is unprecedented that the collective wisdom for a curtailment of practice has had an enormous immediate and far reaching implications on the livelihoods of ophthalmologists, their staff, and their families. Nevertheless, ophthalmologists and their staff remain resilient and have adapted to these changes pragmatically. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. |

Purpose: To report the latest data on blindness and visual impairment (VI) in Indonesia. Methods: Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) surveys were done in 15 provinces in Indonesia between 2013 and 2017. The population of the study was people aged 50 +. In each province, the required number of clusters was selected with a probability proportionately to size. A weighted average analysis for prevalence, causes of visual impairment, and cataract surgical coverage (CSC) estimated the values of the country. Results: The prevalence of blindness in East Java was the highest at 4.4% (95% CI: 3.1–5.6%), followed by Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) at 4.0% (95% CI: 3.0–5.1%) and South Sumatra at 3.4% (95% CI: 2.4–4.4%). In number, blindness among people aged 50+ in East Java was the highest at 371,599, followed by West Java at 180,666 and Central Java at 176,977. Untreated cataract was the commonest cause of blindness in all provinces (range: 71.7% to 95.5%). CSCperson<3/60 and CSCperson<6/60 in Bali were the highest at 81.3% and 72.4%, respectively. Indonesia countrywide prevalence of blindness was 3.0%. The total number of people with VI (PVA less than 6/18 in the better eye) in Indonesia was 8,019,427, consisting of 1,654,595 of blindness and 6,364,832 of moderate and severe VI. Conclusion: The burden of blindness in Indonesia is high, and untreated cataract contributes the most. There is an urgent need to increase cataract surgical coverage by providing better access to cataract surgery services for all people in need. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. |
