Jakarta, CNNIndonesia —

Vision Indra Bekti bothered after his blood vessels burst a while ago. This also made Indra Bekti return to the hospital (RS) to undergo surgery women.

This was conveyed by his wife, Aldila Jelita, through her upload on social media on Monday (6/2) evening. She revealed that this time the treatment was focused on her husband’s eyes.

“With this eye problem, Mas Bekti is really uncomfortable with his eyes. Because he is uncomfortable, he tries to go to several hospitals, the decision is that there is cloudy water in Mas Bekti’s eyes. So he must have surgery,” said Dhila in a joint interview Trans 7.

Previously, Indra Bekti’s manager, Roy Manella, revealed that the presenter’s eyesight was affected due to a ruptured blood vessel some time ago. Indra’s eyes are said to be still blurry so that he cannot see at a distance.

“Not because his eyes are empty. Because there really isn’t anything to see yet,” said Roy. “The viewing distance must be from up close, even that is still a bit blur.”

What are the effects of a stroke on vision?

Citing various sources, about 2 out of 3 stroke survivors live their lives with vision problems.

This is because a stroke can damage any segment of the nerve pathway that connects the eye to the brain or the part of the brain that processes the images sent by the eye. Damage to any of these areas can cause vision loss.

Vision problems related to strokes such as those experienced by Indra Bekti will interfere with daily activities. As with other stroke effects, vision problems can improve over time, as the brain begins to recover.

Here are some types of vision problems caused by stroke.

1. Loss of visual field

Strokes can damage certain areas of the brain responsible for central or peripheral vision. This causes part of the visual field to be lost and causes vision to be ‘dark’ or have a ‘blind spot’.

In most cases, the same area of ​​visual field is lost in both eyes. This condition is called homonymous visual field loss, which means a person cannot see the right or left side of his gaze from each eye.

Individuals affected by this condition may have difficulty reading and bump into objects located in their blind spot.

2. Difficulty processing images

Sometimes, a person may be able to look at an object. However, they would have problems processing it.

For example, they can see other people’s faces, but they may not recognize them. They can also have difficulty identifying or interacting with common objects, which affects everyday tasks.

3. Eye movement problems

Strokes can damage the fine nerves that control eye movements. A person who cannot control his optic nerve may have difficulty moving his eyes to shift focus from one object to another or have difficulty tracking moving objects.

Nystagmus or the condition of involuntary and rapid eye movements is also a possible complication of eye nerve damage.

If only one eye is affected, usually the patient will experience double or blurred vision.

4. Dry eye syndrome

Stroke-related muscle weakness is also common, especially in the eyes and face. If this happens, the eyelids may not be able to close completely when blinking or while sleeping.

This can lead to dry eye syndrome, which triggers various symptoms such as red, itchy, watery eyes, burning, and sensitivity to light.

Those are the various effects of a stroke on the eye, one of which is suspected of causing Indra Bekti to return to the hospital.
