Having an eye problem is a stressful experience. Eye care nowadays is a prevailing problem in developing countries. The Sultanate of Oman is the second-largest country in the peninsula. Economic preference is closely tied to the oil industry. However, Omani citizens still cope with eye disease in the country. In fact, eye problem has become a global concern in recent years and developing countries are still liable to various eye problems and evidently, the Sultanate of Oman is no exception. Unfortunately, the Sultanate of Oman has been suffering for a long time from eye disease. Eyecare in Oman because of the weather condition is not conducive and every year we see people flocking into hospitals and clinics. A comprehensive case study with 11417 subjects examined estimated that the prevalence of blindness in the Omani population is 91% being defined according to the WHO Tenth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases.
Interestingly, this prevalence of blindness was clearly related to increasing age. You may ask what the common eye diseases in The Sultanate of Oman are? In this article, I’m going to list the top 5 eye problems and their solutions in Oman.
As you read this article, you may be one of those who suffer from eye disease or have loved one diagnosed with any kind of eye disease. The major causes of blindness in Oman are unoperated cataract (30.5%), trachomatous corneal opacities (23.3%), and glaucoma (11.5%). This is mostly because of the weather condition in Oman and exposure to sunlight. The climate is hot and humid in the coastal areas during the summer and hot and dry in the interior with the exception of high mountains and the southern Governor of Dhofar, which has a temperate climate during the year. Another problem that contributed to the increasing eye problem in the Sultanate of Oman is aging. Because of negligence or access to hospitals or clinics located in the center of the country, people fall victim to so many eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, trachomatous corneal opacities, Age-related Macular Degeneration, pink eye, diabetic retinopathy, etc.
A person suffers from this disease when he is hit by a severe blow in his eye and when he has diabetes or takes too much Cortisone. As a result, the eye lens gets affected with this disease and its color changes from transparent to dark and dusky or white and this replacement gradually continues till it is completely replaced to dark. Cataract is reported as one of the leading causes of blindness in the Sultanate of Oman.

Glaucoma is the most common eye disease in the world. A person suffers from this disease when he suffers a severe blow to his eye, when he suffers from diabetes or when he takes too much cortisone. As a result, damage to the optic nerve occurs, despite the high pressure in the eye as well, but this is not the main problem in glaucoma, as damage to the optic nerve is what leads to this imbalance, and the continued condition without treatment or without lowering the pressure in the eye, eventually leads to vision loss. Neglect of treatment is one of the main causes of blindness in Oman.
