“…However, in general, in male POAG patients, the results of this study in terms of factors N, E, and A correspond to those reported previously, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] while the results of this study regarding factor C was contrary to those reported previously. 2,3,6 In female POAG patients, the results in this study in regard to factor E correspond to those reported previously.…”

“…The level of nervousness in the glaucoma group is significantly higher than in control group and retinitis pigmentosa group. [ 17 ] What's more, 2 studies setting 3 group (control group, POAG group, PACG group) proved that the level of anxiety and depression of glaucoma patients tended to be higher and that personality and behavior factors were associated with glaucoma. One study aimed to evaluate the incidence of type A behavior in open-angle-glaucoma (OAG) patients and to assess the possible role of stress as a risk factor for OAG.…”

“…[ 21 ] However, after comparing the control group and retinitis pigmentosa (RP) group, the glaucoma group had a higher nervousness value using the Yatabe-Guilford personality test. [ 17 ] So it may be concluded that glaucoma patients tended toward nervousness. [ 17 ] Although the conclusion was dynamic, this study just tested the nervousness and didn’t use a common assessment method of personality.…”

Objectives: To synthesize recent empirical research on the association between personality and glaucoma among this sub-population. Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, Scopus and ScienceDirect databases were searched to identify eligible studies published between January 1950 and March 2019 in any language. The quality of included observational studies was assessed using an 11-item checklist which was recommended by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). After using the checklist, 12 papers are included into the systematic review. Results: There are some differences on the studies about the negative personality of glaucoma patients. In spite of these differences, most included studies significantly showed that glaucoma patients tend to or do have some specific personality. Conclusion: The extant research could demonstrate that glaucoma patients tend to have some negative personality in some extent. Future studies are needed to provide more convincing support to personality of glaucoma patients.

“…18,19 Patients with AMD are prone to both depression and anxiety possibly because vision loss may inhibit individuals from being able to perform valued leisure activities 20 and driving. 21,22 Glaucoma patients are more likely to have emotional instability, 23,24 nervousness, 25 anxiety or depression when compared to normally-sighted controls. 26 For glaucoma patients, younger age was a risk factor for anxiety, whereas older patients were at greater risk for depression.…”

Applying theories and interventions from behavioral medicine to understand and reduce visual field variability in patients with vision loss

et al. 2014

Visual field (VF) test results are often unreliable in visually impaired patients, but continue to be a cornerstone of clinical trials and play a vital role in clinical decision making since they are the primary method to determine patients’ functional vision loss or progression. Currently, patients are typically asked to perform VF tasks with minimal instruction or consideration of their psychological experience during the test. The gradual loss of vision due to retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or glaucoma can contribute to the experience of negative psychosocial states, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, as well as diminished quality of life. We hypothesize that VF testing elicits test performance anxiety and perception of functional losses of vision, which induces distracting negative thoughts that result in increased VF test variability. Resources for processing and responding to vision-related information may be diverted from task-relevant VF stimuli to task-irrelevant ones, such as internal worry and test anxiety, thereby resulting in VF test performance decrements. We present a theoretical model to support the hypothesis that VF variability is linked to patients’ negative thoughts during VF testing. This conceptual framework provides a basis for the development of coping strategies and mindfulness-based interventions to be evaluated in future research aimed at improving psychosocial states and VF reliability in visually-impaired patients. It would be highly significant to intervene by modifying negative thoughts during VF testing to reduce test variability in glaucoma patients who are progressively losing vision to a blinding eye disease, but whose vision loss has not been accurately identified and treated early enough due to variable VF results. In clinical trials of potential interventions for RP and non-neovascular AMD, reducing VF variability would effectively increase the precision for detecting treatment effects and allow a reduction in the number of VF tests needed to estimate the treatment responses, thus reducing burden on investigators and patients, as well as saving time and money.
