摘要

AIM:To investigate the depressive state among the patients with symptomatic vitreous floaters(SVF),as well as its change after SVF removal via vitrectomy surgery.METHODS:Twenty-eight eyes of 28 patients who underwent 27-gauge pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)for SVF were included.Thirty-nine eyes of 39 age-and gendermatched healthy volunteers without SVF were also recruited as a healthy control.Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression(CES-D)was used to assess volunteers and patients’depression(before and 1 wk after PPV).RESULTS:The CES-D score was 18.3±8.6 for patients,and was 12.4±6.0 for healthy control(P=0.003).Patients were significantly more likely to be in a depressive state(53.6%,defined as CES-D score≥16)than the healthy control(20.5%,P=0.005).For patients with SVF,the CES-D score was negatively correlated with their age(rs=-0.42,P=0.025).After PPV,both the CES-D score(11.9±5.4 vs 18.3±8.6,P<0.001)and proportion of depressive state(18.5%vs 53.6%,P=0.005)were significantly decreased.CONCLUSION:This study suggests that symptoms of vitreous floaters have an apparently negative impact on patients’psychological state.The PPV can effectively relieve the depressive state for patients with SVF.
