Description
It can be frustrating from a doctor’s perspective when medications are prescribed and the patient doesn’t comply with the regimen. After all, the patient is taking the time to be evaluated, so why not follow the directions to improve their condition? Patient compliance is not a subject that is frequently observed or studied in regards to ocular medications. In fact there has not been any neutral (i.e. non-company sponsored) compliance studies published in an ophthalmic journal. Why is that? Are the answers already known? Is it not important?
This study has been performed to try and answer questions about compliance from the patient’s point of view. The answers from this study will hopefully assist eye care providers in improving patient care. |
