PURPOSE: We investigated personality traits and symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with primary vitreous floaters.
METHODS: A U.K. sample of adult patients (> 18 years old) with vitreous floaters of a minimum of three months severe enough to seek a consultation was assessed for personality traits (The Big Five Inventory (BFI)), symptoms of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and symptoms of anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-7).
RESULTS: 149 patients participated in the study. Compared to the general population, our sample had a significantly increased score in the domain of BFI-neuroticism (3.27 vs 2.97, ρ < 0.0001, d = 0.38) and reduced score in the domain of extraversion (2.97 vs 3.24, ρ < 0.0001, d = 0.33). Female patients scored significantly higher than male patients on BFI-neuroticism (ρ = 0.01), and on BFI-agreeableness (ρ = 0.01). Age was positively correlated with BFI-Conscientiousness (r = 0.19, ρ = 0.02) and with BFI-Agreeableness (r = 0.20, ρ = 0.01). 36% of our sample had moderate to severe symptoms of depression, and 43% had moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights the underlying psychological traits of patients with severe vitreous floaters and particular mental health needs that deserve further consideration by ophthalmological and vision science clinicians.
