ABSTRACT
Purpose:
To investigate the psychological changes in patients pre and post implantable collamer lens (ICL, EVO) implantation surgery in the posterior chamber. Patients andmethods:
Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to assess the mental states of 43 patients who underwent ICL implantation surgery performed by the same surgeon between January 2021 and December 2022.Results:
Comparing the results before and one week after the operation, there is a significant difference in both the SAS scale (P<0.05) and the SDS scale (P<0.05). Similarly, when comparing the pre-operation and one-month post-operation results, there is also a significant difference in both the SAS scale (P<0.05) and the SDS scale (P<0.05). However, when comparing the one-week post-operation and one-month post-operation results, there is no significant difference in either the SAS scale (P>0.05) or the SDS scale (P>0.05). Moving on to the comparison between the pre-operation results and the national norm level, there is a significant difference in both the SAS scale (P<0.05) and the SDS scale (P<0.05). When comparing the one-week post-operation results and the national norm level, there is a significant difference in the SAS scale (P<0.05). Similarly, when comparing the one-month post-operation results and the national norm level, there is a significant difference in the SAS scale (P<0.05).Conclusion:
After undergoing ICL implantation surgery, patients typically experience a notable decrease in anxiety (SAS) and depression (SDS) scales. These improvements gradually stabilize and enhance during the postoperative recovery period. However, it may require a significant amount of time for patients to fully restore their psychological well-being to levels comparable to the national norm, particularly in terms of anxiety levels.
