Chirurgische Behandlung vitreoretinaler Erkrankungen in Oman

Abstract

The most frequent causes of preventable retinal blindness in Oman are pediatric trauma and advanced diabetic vitreoretinopathy. Eyes operated for trauma had a better outcome than PDVR in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The large number of eyes with PDVR in the final stages and sequelae of trauma legitimates preventive medical measures and an expansion of vitreoretinal services with supportive external training of specialists and allied health professions.
