Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers a noninvasive means to visualise these changes, serving as a potential marker of systemic vascular health. Retinal layers like the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (p-RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) are especially vulnerable to vascular damage, making them useful indicators of cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the p-RNFL and GC-IPL thickness among hypertensive individuals with and without CAD and healthy controls.Materials and methods: This prospective observational study included 140 participants divided into three groups: healthy controls (Group A, n = 40), hypertensives without CAD (Group B, n = 50), and hypertensives with CAD (Group C, n = 50). All subjects underwent comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation, including spectral-domain-OCT, to measure p-RNFL and GC-IPL thickness in both eyes. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with a significance threshold of P < 0.05.Results: Both p-RNFL and GC-IPL were significantly thinned in hypertensive subjects, especially those with CAD. Group A had the highest mean RNFL (114.11 ± 10.09 μm) and GC-IPL (85.07 ± 2.30 μm), whereas Group C showed the lowest (RNFL: 84.90 ± 11.81 μm; GC-IPL: 105.97 ± 11.72 μm). Differences were significant (P < 0.001).Conclusion: OCT can find early signs of retinal nerve damage related to high blood pressure and CAD, indicating it can be a helpful noninvasive method for checking and tracking heart health risks.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"204-209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404916/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the case of an 8-year-old boy who developed a nonhealing corneal ulcer after finger nail trauma that did not respond to broad-spectrum antibiotics. Initial cultures identified Staphylococcus warneri and Streptococcus mitis. Worsening clinical signs prompted repeat investigations, which confirmed Pythium insidiosum through polymerase chain reaction. Despite intensive topical (natamycin and voriconazole) and systemic antifungals (voriconazole), the ulcer progressed with biofilm formation. Manual debridement and a revised regimen of topical linezolid 0.2% alternating with topical ceftazidime 5% led to significant clinical improvement. After 8 weeks of topical therapy and regular debridement, the infection eventually resolved with a paracentral scar and unaided visual acuity of 6/6. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of Pythium keratitis and the crucial role of early microbial identification in pediatric ocular trauma. We attribute the successful management in this case to prompt diagnostic reevaluation, targeted antimicrobial therapy, and repeated scraping of ulcer biofilm.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"248-251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404925/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of changes in vault height (P > 0.05).Conclusion: In this study, ORA values remained stable in the group with vertically implanted pIOLs during both the preoperative and postoperative periods.

The blood-thinning characteristic of these drugs makes them essential for the management of long-term comorbidities, but it also raises the possibility of hemorrhagic complications during and after ophthalmic surgery. Although there is some agreement regarding the preoperative use of anticoagulant drugs in cataract surgery, little is known about the continuation or discontinuation of these drugs before surgeries for glaucoma. Regarding the use of anticoagulants before glaucoma surgery, surgeons' practices differ greatly. Anticoagulation therapy must be understood in the context of glaucoma surgery and laser treatment, as the evidence currently available is inconclusive regarding the benefits of continuing/withholding anticoagulation or using bridging therapy. Modifying anticoagulation therapy for glaucoma surgery must be done carefully and after consulting primary care physicians, internists, cardiologists, and neurologists due to the potential serious adverse effects of stopping the treatment.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"174-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404719/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The examination utilized 1% cyclopentolate cycloplegia administered twice within 1 h, along with retinoscopy and autorefractors.Statistical analysis used: The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results: The study results indicate that (1) there was no significant difference in the mean spherical equivalent (SE) before cycloplegia between the two instruments (P = 0.630); (2) a significant difference in mean SE after cycloplegia was observed for both instruments (P < 0.001); (3) significant differences in mean SE after cycloplegia were noted for both instruments in cases of compound myopic astigmatism (P < 0.001), compound hyperopic astigmatism (P = 0.007), and mixed astigmatism (P = 0.001); and (4) examination of all subjects showed undercorrection of autorefractometry results compared to those of retinoscopy.Conclusions: Retinoscopy and autorefractors yield different results for refractive error correction after cycloplegia. Therefore, autorefractor examination with cycloplegia cannot be considered a substitute for retinoscopy with cycloplegia.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"232-238"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404713/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
