Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the visual status of the remaining eye, emotional well-being and social functions in anophthalmic patients using a validated questionnaire. Anophthalmic patients aged 18 years and above who visited the optometry clinic in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, for prosthetic eye fitting participated in this study. Refraction and visual acuity (VA) of the remaining eye were examined using subjective refraction and the Snellen chart, accordingly. The National Eye Institute’s 25-item Visual Functions Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) was used to determine the emotional well-being and social functions of the patients. The results were analysed using the Pearson chi-square model. A total of 23 patients participated in this study, with 52.2% of them being emmetrope, 30.4% myope and 17.4% hyperope. Their mean VA was 6/6. The mean score of NEI VFQ-25 was 67.8 ± 2.8 (score ranged: 47.5 to 93.5). The analysis revealed significant reduction in NEI VFQ-25 score for all patients [95% CI: 64.22 to 74.44, p = 0.04]. However, there is no significant association between VA of the remaining eye and the NEI VFQ-25 score (p=0.24). This study concludes that the emotional well-being and social functions of the anophthalmic patients is low, but the score is not associated with the visual status of the remaining eye.

马来西亚无眼患者残眼视力状况、情绪健康和社会功能之间的关系——一项初步研究

摘要本研究旨在探讨无眼症患者剩眼视力状况、情绪幸福感和社会功能之间的关系。在吉隆坡马来西亚Kebangsaan大学验光诊所接受假眼植入的18岁及以上无眼患者参与了本研究。采用主观验光法和Snellen视力表检查剩余眼屈光和视敏度。采用美国国家眼科研究所的25项视觉功能问卷(NEI VFQ-25)来确定患者的情绪健康和社会功能。使用Pearson卡方模型对结果进行分析。共有23例患者参与了本研究，其中近视占52.2%，近视眼占30.4%，远视眼占17.4%。平均VA是6/6。NEI VFQ-25评分平均67.8±2.8分(47.5 ~ 93.5分)。分析显示，所有患者的NEI VFQ-25评分均显著降低[95% CI: 64.22 ~ 74.44, p = 0.04]。然而，剩余眼的VA与NEI VFQ-25评分之间无显著相关性(p=0.24)。本研究发现，无眼患者的情绪幸福感和社会功能较低，但其得分与剩余眼的视觉状态无关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sustainability Science and Management is an Open-Access and peer-reviewed journal aims to publish scientific articles related to sustainable science; i.e. an interaction between natural sciences, social science, technologies and management for sustainable development and wise use of resources. We particularly encourage manuscripts that discuss contemporary research that can be used directly or indirectly in addressing critical issues and sharing of advanced knowledge and best practices in sustainable development.
