许多研究已经调查了叹息丧失对情绪的影响，研究往往侧重于临床诊断，而不是治疗预防方面。据报道，失明和视力恢复可引起暂时和长期的精神病理，通常随后是社会心理调整。然而，在某些情况下，重新调整可能不会发生，可能导致自杀。结合对现有文献的广泛回顾，作者介绍了从他们的心理解剖研究数据库中提取的病例。与听力受损的对照组相比，受损的叹息本身就会严重影响心理健康的个体。眼科医生需要意识到这一问题，并与精神卫生专业人员开展更密切的合作，认真考虑这一问题并制定明确的指导方针，可能会预防自杀行为。
Numerous studies have examined the emotional impact exerted by sighs loss, Research has tended to focus on clinical-diagnostic rather than therapeutic-preventive aspects. Blindness and sight restoration have been reported to induce both temporary and longer term psychopathology, usually followed by psychosocial readjustment. However in some cases, readjustment may not occur and suicide may result. Together with an extensive review of available literature, the authors present cases taken from their psychological autopsy study database, When compared with a hearing-impaired control group, impaired sighs alone can acutely affect otherwise ise psychologically healthy individuals. Ophthalmologists need to be aware of this problem and to develop closer collaboration with mental health professionals, Serious consideration of this problem and definition of clear guidelines may prevent suicidal behavior.
