This study is designed to evaluate the change of psychological status before and after surgery in monophthalmic patients who receive the ocular surgery in eye with better vision.
Monophthalmos means the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the worse eye is less than 0.05 or the central visual field (CFOV) is less than 5°. The ocular surgery of the better eye in monophthalmic patients is of high risk. On the one hand the surgical failure will result in the patient falling into permanent darkness. On the other hand the monophthalmic patient may have the same disease in both two eyes such as high axial myopia, uveitis and glaucoma, which will increase the surgical risk. There is still no consensus on whether it is necessary to take risks to perform this kind of operation. In this study we will evaluate the change of psychological status before and after surgery in monophthalmic patients who receive the ocular surgery in eye with better vision. The necessity of the ocular surgery in monophthalmic patients will be evaluated from the point of social psychology.
