Article Synopsis
- In 2023, simultaneous surveys in Eastern and Sarawak regions of Malaysia assessed the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment, comparing results to a survey conducted in 2014.
- The surveys utilized the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) technique, examining 9,709 out of 10,184 sampled residents aged 50 and older, revealing a decrease in rates of blindness and severe visual impairment.
- The primary cause of blindness was found to be untreated cataracts, emphasizing the need for increased efforts to address avoidable blindness despite progress since the last survey.
Background/aims: Population surveys are required to measure the prevalence of cataract blindness in the community. We conducted simultaneous surveys in two regions in Malaysia in 2023 to estimate the prevalence of untreated cataract, measure the visual outcomes after cataract surgery and compare the results with the survey in 2014.
Methods: The surveys were done in Eastern and Sarawak administrative regions using the rapid assessment of avoidable blindness technique.
Significance: To our knowledge, this is the first time a study looking at the association between subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and the parameters affecting the severity of pre-eclampsia has been reported. We provide evidence that SFCT is thicker in pre-eclamptic (PE) patients and speculate on the possible causes.
Purpose: The purposes of this study were to compare SFCT in PE, normal pregnant, and nonpregnant women using spectral domain optical coherence tomography and to correlate SFCT with severity of pre-eclampsia.
The rise in popularity of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler injection has caused an exceptional increase in the number of cases of reported irreversible blindness. Here, we reported a case of ischemic optic neuropathy and ophthalmoplegia following subcutaneous HA filler injection with complete visual recovery. A 31-year-old Chinese woman presented with sudden onset of right monocular visual impairment associated with diplopia.

Initial incision biopsy of the mass was reported as nodular fasciitis but the lesion recurred 3 weeks later. Intraoperative findings during repeat biopsy showed a mass extending from the deep dermal tissue into the anterior orbit and polyp-like nasal mass.
