The Usage of Digital Health Mobile-Based Applications among Saudi Population.

This study aimed at assessing the extent to which the general Saudi population has embraced digital health medical applications to meet their health-related needs so that the Saudi Ministry of Health and government can appropriately be guided on scaling up digital health across the country. As such, this study was guided by the question of to what extent the Saudi people use digital health mobile-based applications. This was a cross-sectional study utilizing snowballing sampling approach.

Poor Outcome in Camel-Related Eye Trauma with Ruptured Globe.

Purpose: To report the poor visual outcome of ruptured globe caused by camel bites.

Observations: A 48-year-old camel caregiver presented to the emergency department after being bitten by a camel in the left side of his face. Ophthalmic examination revealed a superior scleral wound from 9 to 2 o'clock, about 6 mm from the limbus extending to the equator with prolapse of uveal and vitreous tissues, an opaque cornea, total hyphema, diffuse subconjunctival hemorrhage, and a lower lid laceration involving the lid margin and the nasolacrimal duct.

Randomized controlled trial to evaluate intraocular pressure following sub-Tenon's local anesthesia for cataract surgery: With and without hyaluronidase added to anesthetic solution.

Aim: To evaluate effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) during sub-Tenon's local anesthesia (LA) during cataract surgery with 4 ml of anesthetic injected without and with addition of hyluronidase to anesthetic solution.

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled study included 65 eyes of 65 patients undergoing phacoemulsification and lens implant for cataract. The patients were randomized to a standardized procedure of administration of 4 ml of sub-Tenon's LA without and with addition of 15 IU/ml hylaluronidase to 2% lidocaine (control group and intervention group respectively).
