Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...
Microbiome of the Eye01:22

Microbiome of the Eye

The human eye has a specialized microbiota that reflects its unique anatomical and immunological environment. This low-biomass microbial community predominantly colonizes the conjunctiva and eyelid margins, playing a vital role in ocular surface homeostasis and defense. Despite its proximity to the richly colonized facial skin, the ocular surface maintains a distinct microbial profile due to continuous mechanical and biochemical defense mechanisms.The conjunctival surface hosts fewer microbial...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Endophthalmitis is a severe intraocular inflammation, often leading to vision loss.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are critical for preserving visual acuity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the anatomical and functional outcomes, microbiology, and treatments for endophthalmitis in Oman.
  • To provide insights into the management of this rare ocular emergency.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, descriptive, multicenter study over nine years.
  • Data collected from three tertiary hospitals in Oman.
  • Involved analysis of 50 endophthalmitis cases.

Main Results:

  • Exogenous endophthalmitis accounted for 48 of 50 cases.
  • Culture-positive results were found in 32% of cases (Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungal).
  • Visual acuity improved in 49% of treated eyes, with initial treatments including vitreous tap and inject or vitrectomy.

Conclusions:

  • Endophthalmitis requires urgent diagnosis and intervention for optimal visual prognosis.
  • Increased awareness among patients and healthcare providers is essential for early recognition and referral.
  • Establishing a National Endophthalmitis Registry in Oman is recommended for better data analysis and management strategies.
