Quality of Life in Patients With Acquired Anophthalmia Using an Ocular Prosthesis
Among patients with anophthalmia wearing an ocular prosthesis, the etiology of anophthalmia was significantly associated with the Global Ocular Prosthesis Score. Employment status, etiology of anophthalmia, gender, and level of education were also observed to have statistically significant associations with subdomain scores. Knowledge of these factors moving forward may help the surgeon manage expectations, mitigate challenges, and promote higher QoL outcomes for patients with acquired anophthalmia.
