Actual (reported)Anxiety is common among patients undergoing eye surgery, which is typically performed under topical anesthesia while the patient is awake. This can be an unsettling experience for patients, who may worry about being able to keep their eyes still during surgery, cooperate with the surgical team, and remain immobile in an unfamiliar environment. Patients may also experience anxiety due to concerns about surgical pain, possible complications, and the uncertainty of the outcome of the surgery. In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate the correlation between the severity of anxiety symptoms during LASIK, and fixation instability during photo-ablation as plotted by the eye tracker.

Actual (reported)The eye-tracking pupil position plot
This is a scheme that allows the system to capture the image, process it, and then verify eye position with the next image before releasing the pulse. After treatment, the system releases a summarized treatment report including a plot that depicts various pupil center positions within 3.0 mm off-center (on x and y axes) relative to the eye tracking cameras during ablation.

Subjective evaluation of patient's cooperation by surgeon:
Immediately following surgery.
Based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale anxiety sub-score (HADS anxiety sub-score, the seven-item anxiety sub-score for scaling a patient's anxiety levels before LASIK) Patients who had a sub-score of ≤7 denotes no anxiety scale (normal).
Based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale anxiety sub-score (HADS anxiety sub-score, the seven-item anxiety sub-score for scaling a patient's anxiety levels before LASIK) Patients who had a sub-score of 8-10 denotes doubtful anxiety scale (borderline).
Based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale anxiety sub-score (HADS anxiety sub-score, the seven-item anxiety sub-score for scaling a patient's anxiety levels before LASIK) Patients who had a sub-score of 11-21 is abnormal and denotes a definite anxiety scale (case).
Patients were planned to undergo laser in situ keratomileusis. Local anesthesia was achieved by preservative-free oxybuprocaine hydrochloride 0.4% drops (a commonly used topical anesthetic due to its effectiveness in alleviating pain and ocular surface discomfort during the procedure). During surgery, the lights of the operating room were dimmed as much as possible and the surgeons spoke to the patients in a calm voice and explained what was happening. They also reassured the patients that the surgery was going as planned and would be over soon. For patients undergoing (Microkeratome) MK-LASIK, a Moria 2 Microkeratome (Moria SA, Antony, France) was used to create the flap. For patients undergoing Femtosecond LASIK (FS-LASIK), the Allegretto Wave Light FS-200 femtosecond Laser (Alcon labs, Fort Worth, TX, USA) was used for flap creation. Laser ablation was performed using WaveLight EX500 Excimer Laser (Alcon labs, Fort Worth, TX, USA) with a planned post-operative emmetropia.

This cohort study was conducted at 2 refractive surgery centers in Assiut city, Egypt (Private practice) and included patients who were candidates for LASIK eye surgery for correction of their refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.
