Studies have shown that health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was worse among patients who underwent surgical eye removal compared to the general population in Denmark. A third of eye amputated patients suffered from anxiety and depression. Most of the available evidence on the subject is based on retrospective studies that interviewed patients several years after surgery, which can potentially introduce biases. Moreover, in the literature, there are no data concerning postoperative psychological and visual impact.
