Presentation of the doctors we would like to support

We have a collaboration with the association «Eyes of the world», which helps us to find the doctors to support.

The Eyes of the world Foundation was created in July 2001 by the current President Rafael Ribó and Vice President Borja Corcóstegui. Eyes of the world is a non-profit organization that works to bring high-quality ophthalmic care, through local health services, to visually impaired people without the financial and medical resources necessary to treat themselves. It also seeks to raise awareness in society regarding the deficiencies in basic healthcare suffered by those living in poor and developing countries.

My name is Fitrika Wahyu Listari. I am 35 years old. I am a mother of two boys. I live in Surabaya, the capital of East Java, Indonesia. I finished my ophthalmology speciality at Airlangga University Surabaya East Java Indonesia in 2017 and then I start work as an ophthalmologist at Haji General Hospital Surabaya.

Haji Hospital is a teaching hospital, belong to East Java Provincial Government. I also joined Dokter Sjamsu Eye Clinic and Al Aziz Hospital. My daily activities are ophthalmology caring and teaching the clinical medical student. On my daily ophthalmology caring, there are much difficult cataract cases, some I am not sure to manage by myself than I refer to cataract consultant.

But not all patients are ready to be referred to cataract consultant or cataract centre due to cost, distance, or the long queue, sometimes patients with a systemic condition that hard to manage in cataract centre as well as in general hospital. Patients who came to my hospital are not only people from Surabaya, but also some area surrounding even island surrounding, because Haji Hospital is a third line referral hospital (the fourth is the highest).

There are four ophthalmologists in Haji Hospital, I am the youngest. I am a member of Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) and Persatuan Dokter Mata Indonesia (Perdami). We perform charity cataract surgery in some area especially in lagging region, sometimes also in Surabaya. I am interested in cataract and refractive surgery because there are still huge numbers of blindness due to cataract in my country, there are also many different difficult cases in cataract.

My name is Andrea Radotma Silitonga, I’m a young ophthalmologist from Indonesia, South East Asia. I live in Medan, North Sumatra and work full time in an eye hospital that serves for people using National Health Insurance.

My country, Indonesia, is the world’s largest island country (more than 17.000 islands) and the world’s 4th most populous country (almost 270 million people). It is a very beautiful island country with sceneries from mountain to sea, however, it is also struggling for development due to transportation facilities and infrastructure difficulties. According to National Health Research in 2013, the prevalence of blindness was 0.4% (close to 900.000 people) and cataract prevalence was 1,8% which was 4 million people. Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in Indonesia. This number continue to accumulates each year in accordance with the increasing population and life expectancy, and new cases of cataract ( estimated 0.1% of the total population about 250,000 per year), and all these still adds up due to cataract backlog each year. Indonesia’s climate (tropical) also makes its residents have a tendency to suffer from cataracts 15 years faster than residents in subtropical areas, around 16-22% of cataract patients who were operated on are under 55 years old. Furthermore, the geographical condition in Indonesia (long distance between cities and islands) and its suboptimal transportation facilities makes it difficult for people to go to big cities to have medical surgery.

I work in a private hospital that truly wants to give back to the community especially in my region North Sumatra and even in Indonesia. We work together with government hospitals in far and away districts in North Sumatra, Aceh, and other regions in Indonesia, that do not have any ophthalmologist, to provide for high quality and high volume cataract surgeries (phacoemulsification with intraocular lens). Most people in our region hesitates to go to big city due to distance/transportation fee which can cost them a fortune! Doing cataract surgery in far away districts means doing the surgery as efficient and as safe as possible, with very minimal almost none complication. Even if complication did occur, the ophthalmologist should be able to manage it her/himself (since other ophthalmologist is hundreds miles away!) and can only refer severe cases. Doing cataract surgery in secluded area also demands highly skilled ophthalmologists, since most cataracts that is presented on the table is long awaited cataract mostly hard cataract, not rarely with subluxation, and complicated or traumatic cataract. In my country, formal fellowship in cataract surgery only held in several university hospital in Java island, and the queue is quite long.

Many eye hospitals trained their ophthalmologist locally (in-house training), including myself. Aside from my training, I learn from watching videos in youtube and local workshops. I am aware that my knowledge might be not enough to continue provide high quality and high volume surgeries. My best interest is to learn more, so I can give the best to my patients, even those in faraway secluded cities. Thus it is my dream to be able to learn from the experts in cataract surgery, especially through ESASO because of its leading faculties all across the world. I hope I can get support from generous people who also concerns about blindness in developing countries, together we can work it out!

My name is Karinca Melia Arundini. I’m an ophthalmologist from Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country in Southeast Asia. It is the world’s largest island country, with 17.504 islands.

Recently I live in Java island, the world’s most populous island, which is home to more than half of the country’s population.

National prevalence of blindness in Indonesia is 0.4%. Prevalence of severe low vision is 0.9%, and cataracts is 1.8%. Three main reasons for cataract patients who have not been operated on are due to nescience (51.6%), financial incompetence (11.6%), and lack of courage (8.1%).

I live in Banten province, it is the westernmost province on the island of Java.
The province borders West Java and the Special Capital Region of Jakarta to the east. The population of Banten was officially estimated at 12,959,169 in the middle of 2019. Prevalence of blindness in Banten is 0.3% and severe low vision is 1.0%. Cataract prevalence is 1.8%. With a quite high prevalence of blindness and those obstacles, Indonesia needs many social services in preventing blindness. Me with other fellow ophthalmologists in my country often do social services for cataract surgeries, free eye examinations, and visual acuity screenings. My country needs more ophthalmologists with adequate knowledge and good skills to reduce blindness rates. I really hope I can join ESASO course to increase my knowledge, improve my skills, and to learn another perspective in finding solutions for ophthalmogical cases. Everything to be a better ophthalmologist to serve community.
