Inflammatory optic neuropathy as the presenting feature of herpes simplex acute retinal necrosis

We read with interest the article by Khandekar et al detailing the results of the 1996–7 Omani Eye Study.1 They found a prevalence of blindness of 16.8% in those 60+ years of age, and comment that the population of this age group in Oman is predicted to double by the year 2020. This has serious implications for planning the provision of health care and …
