Purpose:The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of psychological disturbances and personality traits in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.Methods:A sample of 50 PACG patients, 50 POAG patients, and 50 normal controls were enrolled in this study. All the participants were asked to complete the following questionnaires: Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), and Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ). Analysis of variance and t test were used to compare the subscores between the groups.Results:The scores of SAS and SDS were higher in glaucoma patients than in controls, whereas the PACG group had a higher score for both scales (48.449.90; 53.64 +/- 9.74) than the POAG group (42.62 +/- 9.00, P=0.034; 49.02 +/- 11.47, P=0.131) and control group (37.10 +/- 6.08, P=0.000; 38.86 +/- 6.64, P=0.000). Taking an SAS score of 45 and an SDS score of 50 as cut-offs, the prevalence of anxiety and depression in the PACG group (66.0%, 56.0%) was significantly higher than in the POAG group (44.0%, P=0.002; 40.0%, P=0.033) and control group (16.0%, P=0.000; 10.0%, P=0.000). The values of psychoticism and neuroticism in EPQ for the PACG and POAG groups were significantly higher than those for controls (P
