Psychological and Quality of Life after Removal of Eye in Adult

Of the five human senses, sight has always been considered the most important. Loss of vision due to diseases or trauma causes major changes in the quality of life. Not only is the patient no longer able to perform all the usual tasks and activities to the same extent as previously, but changes in lifestyle, habits, and roles may also result in a serious psychological adjustment; individuals’ social interaction is also affected. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess some socio-demographic characteristics of patients who had undergone removal of the eye, and to investigate the psychological changes and the quality of life of these patients.
