[Psychiatric aspects in eye surgery]

The psychic ill man, no matter the gravity of the syndrome presented, is not undesirable and does not constitute a contraindication in ocular surgery. But in these situations a correct evaluation of the general and ocular state must be done, and also a correct premedication, a local or general on case good-conducted anesthesia and a close cooperation with the psychiatrist. Are discussed the problems of the little psychiatry which appear in the ocular interventions: senile psychosis, unorganical psychoses like ambulatory schizophrenia, maniacal-depress psychosis and paranoia decompensated by surgical act.
