Description
Background: This research project explores the rates of compliance among optometry
students with regard to the contact lens wear and care procedures recommended by their eye care providers. The issue of non-compliance among contact lens wearers is a rampant one within the general population and it has serious consequences. This study compares the rates of compliance among optometry students with those of the general population. It also explores reasons behind non-compliance and methods to increase compliance among contact lens wearers. Methods: A 13-question survey addressing different aspects of contact lens compliance was distributed to the students at the Michigan College of Optometry. Results were compared to previously published studies of the general public. Results: Optometry students were found to be more compliant than the general population in most aspects oflens wear/care behavior. Conclusions: Although optometry students tend to be more compliant with their contact lens wear/care behavior, they do not comply 100% to their eye care providers' recommendations. |
