Does Corneal Tattooing Improve Psychosocial Functioning in Patients With Corneal Leukoma? A Pilot Study
Patients with corneal leukomas are at higher risk of significant depression and anxiety symptoms for many reasons, such as low vision, trauma, multiple surgery, strabismus, and ptosis. In conclusion, addressing corneal leukoma through appropriate ophthalmological interventions not only improves visual function but also alleviates appearance-related psychological distress. Integrating psychiatric assessment into the care process may further enhance the overall quality of life through a holistic, patient-centered approach.
