- Abstract
Patients about to undergo surgery are often anxious. The fear of impending surgery on an important organ such as eye involves considerable anxiety as complications often result in infection and blindness. Long term psychological problems may follow surgical interventions. Does early psychotherapy and psychoactive drugs do benefit these cases? The study attempts to answer some of these questions.
