Core Tip
Core Tip: There is a well-documented association between ocular pathologies, particularly high myopia and glaucoma, and psychological comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. The preoperative and postoperative psychological states of patients undergoing intraocular lens implantation surgery, including manifestations of anxiety and depression, represent significant clinical considerations. Evidence from this study demonstrates that intraocular lens implantation can effectively ameliorate anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with high myopia, while concurrently yielding substantial improvement in both sleep quality and overall quality of life metrics.
