“…The study did not aim at generating a theory, and cannot be generalized to other contexts. (8) Receiving an implant means in many cases some form of change in the individual's way to relate to significant others (e.g. family members, close friends, colleagues, or fellow club members).…”

“…However, the degree of benefit regarding hearing obtained with a CI, based on hearing measurements, varies between individuals [6,7]. There are reports from other specialities, such as ophthalmology and orthopaedics, saying that unrealistic or too high expectations tend to have negative effects on the self-reported benefit of interventions [8,9]. Thus, it is important to examine, what kind of expectations CI-candidates had, which of these came true and which did not.…”

Before implantation it is important to discuss the fact that phone calls and listening to music are improvement expectations that might not be met by the CI. The perceived life changes affect the lives of both the CI-users and the significant others, a finding important to take into consideration before implantation and during rehabilitation after the implantation. Before implantation it is important to inform both CI-recipients and significant others about the length of time required to be able to hear selectively after the implantation and about past experiences of CI-users.

“…Previous studies in other research fields showed that patients with high expectations of treatment outcomes were more likely to present better outcomes after treatment, in comparison with patients with low treatment expectations [ 22 – 25 ]. In contrast, other research showed that high expectations can have a negative association with the self-reported benefit of interventions [ 26 , 27 ]. The existence of contradicting evidence about the correlation between high expectations and treatment outcomes suggests that this correlation might be determined by the investigated condition or disorder.…”

Bilateral vestibulopathy patients’ perspectives on vestibular implant treatment: a qualitative study

et al. 2021

Objectives The aim of this study was to explore expectations of patients with bilateral vestibulopathy regarding vestibular implant treatment. This could advance the definition of recommendations for future core outcome sets of vestibular implantation and help to determine on which characteristics of bilateral vestibulopathy future vestibular implant research should focus. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 50 patients diagnosed with bilateral vestibulopathy at Maastricht UMC + . Interviews followed a semi-structured interview guide and were recorded and transcribed. Transcripts were analyzed thematically by two independent researchers. A consensus meeting took place to produce a joint interpretation for greater dimensionality and to confirm key themes. Results Overall, patient expectations centralized around three key themes: (physical) symptom reduction, functions and activities, and quality of life. These themes appeared to be interrelated. Patient expectations focused on the activity walking (in a straight line), reducing the symptom oscillopsia and being able to live the life they had before bilateral vestibulopathy developed. In general, patients indicated to be satisfied with small improvements. Conclusion This study demonstrated that patient expectations regarding a vestibular implant focus on three key themes: symptom reduction, functions and activities, and quality of life. These themes closely match the functional improvements shown in recent vestibular implantation research. The results of this study provide a clear guideline from the patient perspective on which characteristics of bilateral vestibulopathy, future vestibular implant research should focus.

“…17 The patient rated his satisfaction with the overall results on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 = none, 10 = maximum satisfaction). 19 Surgery was performed using general anesthesia through a 3.5-mm scleral tunnel incision at the 12 o'clock position. The anterior chamber was filled with 1% sodium hyaluronate (Provisc), which was completely removed at the end of the surgery.…”

Purpose: To evaluate probable complications of ArtificialIris implantation with iris-fixated intraocular lens. Method: Development of photophobia, glare, and psychological strain during face-to-face communication in a 23-year-old man with a widespread traumatic iris defect terminate to make a decision for performing implantation an ArtificialIris (HumanOptics, Erlangen, Germany) under the remnant iris without removing the patient’s existing Artisan lens. Results: Without any intraoperative or postoperative complications, the patient’s visual acuity increased by one line, the endothelial cell loss was comparable with the cell loss associated with standard cataract surgery, and the anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber anatomy did not change. At the final follow-up examination, the mean intraocular pressure (IOP) did not differ from baseline, and we achieved high level of patient satisfaction and subjective vision improvement. We discuss the particular importance of considering the patient’s expectations, the appropriate measurements, ways to perfect color evaluation, and the types of ArtificialIris products. Conclusion: The implantation of the ArtificialIris in patients with aphakic iris-supported lenses (i.e., preexisting Artisan lenses) is a feasible approach and a useful option for patients with thin irises and iris hypoplasia who are at risk of subluxation or the dislocation of the PCIOL as well as those with sclerally fixed PCIOLs.
