“There is data from the screening we did, the number of visual defects in children has increased from 66,000 children before, but in this new school year it is 71,600,” he said.
On the other hand, DKI Jakarta Health Service (Dinkes) is also making efforts to maintain health, including vision, including by carrying out health promotion efforts and community empowerment through early detection training for teachers and other groups.
In addition, early detection from the Posyandu activity and eye screening for school children.
He said that it is an inflammation of the red eye that lines the surface of the eyeball or the conjunctiva.
“Patients usually complain that the eyelids are swollen and difficult to open due to swallowing or a slightly thick, yellowish-white liquid. So during sleep it accumulates on the lids, so when you wake up the lids are difficult to open,” he said.
Causes of red eyes include viruses, bacteria, and even allergies.
