Detailed description
This study aims to assess if certain personality traits are move prevalent in patients seeking consultation for treatment of floaters, despite good visual acuity and no other ocular pathology compared to the normal population. A questionnaire utilising a validated personality trait assessment the 'Big Five Inventory' will collect information patients who have sought a consultation (or already had treatment in the form of vitrectomy) for floaters. We will also assess whether these patients are suffering from any degree of depression or anxiety using two validated screening questionnaires; the patient health questionnaire-9 to screen for depression, and the generalised anxiety disorder - 7 questionnaire to screen for anxiety. Identifying personality traits of patients who seek further help and potential therapeutic intervention, could help clinicians identify the individual factors that lead to this debilitating condition in some patients, despite having a healthy eye and may help determine future non-surgical minimally-interventional therapeutic approaches in the future
