Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Surgical and anesthetic technological advancement have made both cataract and noncataract anterior segment surgery significantly less invasive and time-intensive, facilitating the transition of some of these procedures from the operating room under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) to the office-based setting without MAC. This transition has been aided by the popularization of nonintravenous approaches to achieving patient sedation for these procedures. In this review, we discuss the literature surrounding traditional and nontraditional methods of achieving patient sedation for anterior segment surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Our survey of the literature suggests that nonintravenous (IV) approaches to sedation for these procedures may be just as safe, effective, and satisfactory to patients as traditional IV approaches. SUMMARY As anterior segment surgery becomes less invasive and less time-intensive, providers considering transitioning their cataract and anterior segment surgery out of the operating room and into the office-based setting without MAC anesthesia should consider the non-IV sedation options outlined in this review to achieve adequate patient sedation and comfort.

Int J Surg 2024; 110:2300-2312. [PMID: 38668662 PMCID: PMC11020056 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000001105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cataract surgery has been proposed as a potentially modifiable protective factor for enhancing emotional well-being in cataract patients, studies examining the relationship between anxiety or depression and cataract surgery have yielded inconsistent findings. This review summarizes existing evidence to establish whether cataract surgery is associated with depression and anxiety in older adults. METHODS A literature search was conducted across PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases. An initial screening by abstracts and titles was performed, followed by a review and assessment of the methodological quality of the relevant full papers, and final inclusion of 44 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review. RESULTS Among 44 included studies, 36 studies (81.8%) were observational studies concerning the association of cataract surgery or cataracts with anxiety or depression, four studies (9.1%) were interventional studies, and four studies (9.1%) were reviews. Cataract surgery notably enhances the mental health of individuals with impaired vision. However, the multifaceted nature of psychological well-being, influenced by various factors, suggests that cataract surgery may not address all aspects comprehensively. Additionally, preoperative anxiety and depression significantly impact cataract surgery outcomes. CONCLUSION Vision impairment in older adults is closely associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety. While surgical intervention for cataracts improves these symptoms, it might be less effective for mental disorders with multifactorial causes. Notably, anxiety or depression poses challenges to successful preoperative and intraoperative cataract surgeries.

Abstract
Ophthalmic disorders have psychiatric aspects associated with them at various levels. Psychological factors have a well-documented role in the causation, aggravation, and maintenance of various ophthalmic conditions, including glaucoma, central serous retinopathy, dry eye disease, and retinitis pigmentosa. Many ophthalmic conditions, including blindness, have psychological manifestations as well, which need to be addressed, in addition to the ophthalmic pathology. There is also significant overlap in the treatment of the two disciplines in many ways. For instance, many ophthalmic drugs have psychiatric side effects. Even ophthalmological surgeries have psychiatric aspects associated with them, which primarily include black patch psychosis and anxiety in the operation theater. This review will be useful for psychiatrists and ophthalmologists, for their clinical practice and research. Future research should focus on this interface to give it its well-deserved attention.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:1611. [PMID: 36674366 PMCID: PMC9861423 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20021611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze patients' experiences with immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS). An anonymous survey was sent by post to patients who underwent ISBCS between 1 May 2020 and 30 April 2022. A total of 195 participants completed the survey. Specifically, 94.6% of the respondents were satisfied with the possibility of having both eyes treated during one surgical procedure, 89.7% would choose ISBCS again if offered a choice, and 89.2% would recommend this procedure to their family members. ISBCS provided a subjective benefit for 84.6% of the respondents. The most commonly reported ISBCS-related problems were the necessity to sleep in a supine position (32.8%), inability to read shortly after the surgery (27.7%), having both eyes protected with a dressing (24.6%), and application of eyedrops to both eyes at the same time (17.4%). All patients were able to identify some pros of ISBCS, with the most common being single stay in the operating room (82.6%), lower number of visits to the clinic (62.6%), quick normalization of eyesight (61%), time savings for family members (54.9%), quick adjustment of reading glasses (32.3%), and economical aspects (23.6%). The perception of difficulties associated with ISBCS and the benefits offered by this procedure differed depending on patients' gender, age, marital status, education, place of residence, occupational activity, level of care dependence, and everyday activities. Understanding patients' opinions about ISBCS provides insight into the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure from a broader perspective.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate patients' satisfaction with ophthalmology health services in a teaching clinic of a tertiary public hospital. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study in ophthalmology clinic of Dr. Sardjito teaching hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia conducted in 2019. Patients were surveyed using the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire-18 (PSQ-18). PSQ-18 subscale score was analyzed based on patients' characteristics. The main outcome was the odds of reaching top satisfaction score (TSS) of 4-5 from a Likert scale 1 to 5. RESULTS Our study recorded 269 participants who consisted of 138 males (51.3%) and 131 females (48.7%) with median age of 52 (18-87) years old. Variables with higher odds of reaching TSS on "patient overall satisfaction" was public health insurance (OR: 7.959 [95% CI: 1.989-31.852], p=0.003) while examination time (OR: 0.955 [95% CI: 0.923-0.988], p=0.008) had lower odds. Examination waiting time (OR: 0.992 [95% CI: 0.985-0.999], p=0.027) and examination time (OR: 0.941 [95% CI: 0.908-0.976], p=0.001) had lower odds of reaching TSS in "general satisfaction". Family monthly income (OR: 1.829 [95% CI: 1.038-3.223], p=0.037) had higher odds of reaching TSS in "technical quality" while examination time (OR: 0.961 [95% CI: 0.931-0.993], p=0.017) and education (OR: 0.549 [95% CI: 0.322-0.934], p=0.027) had lower odds. Comorbidities (OR: 0.533 [95% CI: 0.301-0.944], p=0.031) had lower odds of reaching TSS in "financial aspects". Retina subspecialty clinic (OR: 3.436 [95% CI: 1.154-10.232], p=0.027) had higher odds of reaching TSS in "time spent with doctor". Registrar as attending physician (OR: 0.427 [95% CI: 0.205-0.89], p=0.0230) and examination time (OR: 0.957 [95% CI: 0.924-0.991], p=0.013) had lower odds of reaching TSS in "accessibility-convenience". CONCLUSION Examination time and examination waiting time should be shortened, specialist doctors should always see the patients whenever possible, and registrars' technical and communication skill should be improved. Alternative funding for patients without health insurance also should be provided to increase satisfaction.

Abstract
Cataract surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Patients usually experience strong negative emotions, such as fear and anxiety. A systematic review of the recent literature regarding the emotional states experienced during cataract surgery under local anaesthesia was performed based on the PubMed and Scopus databases. The objective of this review was to determine the causes and frequency of fear and anxiety, as well as methods for improving intraoperative experience and supporting the patient prior to surgery. Anxiety is mainly caused by fear of the surgery itself, fright of pain, and loss of vision. Abstaining and visual sensations experienced during cataract surgery also increased the preoperative anxiety. Women and hypochondriacs showed higher levels of anxiety. The greatest intensity of negative emotions occurred on the day of the cataract surgery. Patients operated on both eyes experienced greater fear and anxiety before the operation of the first eye surgery. In order to reduce patients’ negative experiences, pharmacological sedation, preoperative education and counselling, manual massage immediately before surgery, and listening to music during surgery are used. Taking this information into consideration allows the introduction of effective methods of eliminating the patient’s negative feelings in connection with cataract surgery, which leads to an improvement in the results of the operation and an increase in the patients’ sense of satisfaction and quality of life.

Abstract
To compare subjective auditory sensations of patients during the first and second eye cataract surgeries. Consecutive patients who underwent phacoemulsification of the first eye (group I) and second eye (group II) completed questionnaires designed to evaluate their auditory sensations in the operating room including background music, sound of working equipment, staff conversations, and surgeon's voice. This study included 124 patients in group I and 76 patients in group II. Patients most often heard nursing staff's conversations (91.9% and 96%, respectively, p > 0.05), surgeon's voice (87.9% and 86.8%, respectively, p > 0.05), and music (70.9% and 75%, respectively, p > 0.05). Music was the most pleasant experience (78.2% and 78.9%, respectively, p > 0.05). The sound of the working phacoemulsifier was the most undesirable sound (20.2% and 15.8%, respectively, p > 0.05). Patients in group II more often indicated that none of the sounds required elimination (69.7% and 52.6%, respectively, p = 0.013) or that staff conversations should be eliminated (13.2% and 3.1%, respectively, p = 0.005). The most desirable sounds during phacoemulsification include music and the surgeon's voice regarding the procedure. The most unpleasant sound was that that of phacoemulsifier. The commonest sounds to be eliminated in groups I and II included those of equipment and staff conversations.
