Summary
This review highlights that glaucoma frequently co-occurs with depression across the majority of analyzed studies, suggesting that visual impairment from glaucoma carries significant psychological burden. A multidisciplinary treatment approach addressing both conditions simultaneously is recommended, with implications for healthcare environments designed to support both visual and mental health.
Key Findings
- Glaucoma was accompanied by depression in the majority of analyzed studies reviewed.
- Authors recommend multidisciplinary treatment approaches addressing both glaucoma and depression concurrently, using both self-report and clinician-rated scales.
