Résumé
We investigated personality traits and symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with primary vitreous floaters. 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). 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. 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.
