To identify the demographics profile of lens wearers, and to evaluate the scope and level of noncompliant, behaviours in lens wearers.
210 contact lens wearers who attended an optometry clinic at an education and research institute, were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was constructed to gather information regarding contact lens wearer demographics, contact lens hygiene behaviours and, attitudes toward lens care. Multivariate testing between lens wearers' demographic, hygiene, behaviours and attitude to aftercare visit were analysed.
One hundred and eleven (62%) of participants responded, with a mean age of 33.8+/-12 years. 55% of the respondents were female. Major non-compliance aspects identified were poor hand hygiene (11%), inadequate cleaning of lenses (13%) and lens storage cases (61%), and wearers not remembering how often they were advised to return for an aftercare (50%). Lens wearers who purchased contact lenses, from the internet were 3.8 times more likely to forget their aftercare schedule than those who purchased contact lenses from the optometrists (95% CI=1.2-12.2, p=0.024).
Poor hand hygiene, inadequate lens care, and not remembering when to come back for aftercares are the common non-compliant behaviours in lens wearers. Purchase of lenses via the internet was associated with lack of awareness of aftercare visit.
确定镜片佩戴者的人口统计学特征，并评估镜片佩戴者不遵守规范行为的范围和程度。
对在教育和研究机构的验光诊所就诊的 210 名隐形眼镜佩戴者进行了问卷调查。该问卷旨在收集有关隐形眼镜佩戴者人口统计学特征、隐形眼镜卫生行为以及对护理后访视态度的信息。对镜片佩戴者的人口统计学、卫生、行为和对护理后访视的态度之间的多变量测试进行了分析。
111 名（62%）参与者做出了回应，平均年龄为 33.8+/-12 岁。55%的受访者为女性。确定的主要不遵守规范的方面包括手部卫生差（11%）、镜片清洁不足（13%）和镜片储存盒（61%），以及佩戴者不记得他们被建议多久进行一次护理后访视（50%）。从互联网购买隐形眼镜的佩戴者忘记护理后访视日程的可能性是从验光师处购买隐形眼镜的佩戴者的 3.8 倍（95%CI=1.2-12.2，p=0.024）。
手部卫生差、镜片护理不当和不记得何时进行护理后访视是镜片佩戴者常见的不遵守规范行为。通过互联网购买镜片与缺乏对护理后访视的认识有关。
