dc.description.abstract |
We investigate prosthetic eye wearers' initial and current concerns about mucoid discharge, visual perception, and appearance, and the reasons for their concerns. A retrospective, cross-sectional study of private practice patients was designed. Participants were 217 experienced prosthetic eye wearers, aged at least 16 years. An anonymous questionnaire was e-mailed or mailed to participants. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to investigate differences or correlations between variables. Content analysis was used to analyze participants' open responses. Participants were equally concerned about discharge, visual perception, and appearance during the first three months following eye loss and at least 2 years later, even though their concerns decreased. Older participants were less concerned about appearance, while females were more concerned about current discharge and appearance. The greater the frequency and volume of discharge, the greater was the concern. Participants' initial discharge concern was due to a negative interpretation of what it meant, but later, it was due to discomfort from wiping, and how discharge looked to others. Loss of depth perception and reduced visual range were equally concerning. Initial appearance concerns related to disguisability of the prosthesis, but over time, changes to the socket and eyelids became more important. Loss of self-image is commonly considered to be the major concern of anophthalmic patients, but discharge and visual perception concerns are of equal importance. Reasons given for these concerns provide greater insight into patients' personal experience of eye loss. |
