RELATIONSHIP OF PUPIL SIZE WITH REFRACTIVE ERROR IN METABOLIC SYNDROME AND NON METABOLIC SYNDROME: AMONG RURAL POPULATION IN MALANG
Abstract
Introduction & Objectives
Nearly one in four Indonesians has metabolic syndrome (MS). One of the microvascular side effects
in Metabolic Syndrome affects the eyes. The aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of pupil
size with refractive error in MS and non-MS groups among rural populations in Malang.
Methods
A descriptive study was carried out in 2019 in three villages in Malang districts. A detailed ocular
examination was conducted on all participants who attended a research facility. We defined
pupillary abnormalities and clinically important refractive errors. Blood samples were obtained to
determine the parameter of the metabolic syndrome by IDF 2006 criteria. Subjects were classified
into 2 groups: Metabolic Syndrome status and non metabolic syndrome.
Results
953 participants completed the examination which consists of 944 right eyes and 942 left eyes. The
results of visual acuity on the right eye: emmetropia in 434 eyes, myopia with 252 eyes, hyperopia
with 141 eyes, and astigmatism with 17 eyes where if it is not significant if associated with pupillary
abnormalities (P-value 0.893). On the left eye, the emmetropia results were 444 eyes, while for
myopia were 244 eyes, hyperopia as many as 138, and astigmatism in 116 eyes and if associated
with pupillary abnormalities, the result also not significant (P-value 0.864). The result of pupil size
with metabolic syndrome 499 eye and non syndrome metabolic 454 eye are not significant (p-value
0.649).
Conclusion
Refractive error didn’t relate pupil size in metabolic syndrome and non metabolic syndrome.
