This study evaluates the causes for variation in the quality of corneal transplantation patient information videos on YouTube.Methods: YouTube was searched using \"corneal transplant\" and the variations for penetrating and lamellar transplants. The results were deduplicated and screened for inclusion by two independent reviewers. A modified DISCERN tool was used to evaluate the quality of each video by two observers independently. Differences in quality were assessed by production location and legality of direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising.Results: Twenty-two videos were included in this study and the mean overall DISCERN score was 2.05 out of 5 (standard deviation = 1.09). Videos scored the highest in relevance to corneal transplant (mean 4.05) and lowest in explaining which patients are unsuitable (mean 1.00) and supporting shared decision-making (mean 1.05). The video with highest viewer engagement was created by McMaster University students. Videos produced in the United States (US) discussed uncertainty and risk less frequently (49% and 43% less, respectively [P < 0.05]) than videos released outside the US.Conclusions: Quality of YouTube content is variable and the lack of clarity over corneal transplant subtypes can be confusing for patients. There is considerable scope to improve visuals within videos to supplement verbal information in clinic, alongside tailoring information to the relevant age demographic. Essential components frequently lacking include risk, especially where DTC advertising is legal. While videos may be a useful supplement they should not be relied on for comprehensive material.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"217-222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404715/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605632","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}

These communities often remain outside the reach of conventional health systems due to systemic neglect, migratory lifestyles, and fragile infrastructure. Traditional facility-based screening models are often inaccessible, underscoring the urgent need for decentralized, community-embedded solutions. This review synthesizes global evidence on community and allied health worker (CAHW)-led DR screening initiatives in urban slum contexts, drawing from 22 studies conducted across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania. In addition, field experience from a DR screening program in Dharavi, Mumbai, one of Asia's largest informal settlements, is included to illustrate operational realities. Findings highlight the transformative potential of task-shifting DR screening responsibilities to CAHWs, many of whom are recruited from the communities they serve. These workers effectively carried out tasks including health education, visual acuity screening, portable fundus photography, referral navigation, and digital data management. With structured training and supervision, CAHWs were found capable of taking on responsibilities conventionally reserved for ophthalmic professionals. Their cultural familiarity and embedded presence also enabled them to overcome key barriers such as distrust, mobility, and language, improving screening uptake and follow-through in underserved populations. Despite clear benefits, challenges persist. Programs often lack standardized competency frameworks, adequate incentives, digital tools, and integrated referral systems. Addressing these gaps is essential for sustaining impact.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"183-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404706/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605724","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}

Over the years, this pathway has garnered significant interest among researchers, leading to the development of various therapeutic agents aimed at blocking the pathway, thereby contributing to remarkable progress in the management of inflammatory diseases across multiple medical specialties. Although the use of JAK inhibitors in ophthalmology is still limited, evidence is gradually emerging on their role in managing uveitis and scleritis. One such agent is tofacitinib, a small-molecule pan-JAK inhibitor. Its therapeutic profile differs from that of biologics due to its partial and reversible inhibition of cytokines. Additionally, owing to its smaller molecular size, the drug is available in an oral formulation. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in JAK inhibitors, particularly tofacitinib, as a potential therapeutic option for refractory uveitis and scleritis in both adult and pediatric populations. Tofacitinib, either as monotherapy or in combination, has shown effectiveness in managing various uveitis cases that were unresponsive to conventional immunosuppressive therapies. It has also been explored in treatment-resistant scleritis. However, concerns persist regarding the potential adverse effects of tofacitinib, including cardiovascular events, thromboembolism, malignancies, and infections. This review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the role of tofacitinib in ocular inflammation, with particular emphasis on its clinical efficacy, safety profile, and the emerging literature surrounding its risks and side effects.","PeriodicalId":19461,"journal":{"name":"Oman Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 2","pages":"190-199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13404718/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148605757","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}
