We studied the rate of failure to use eyedrops as prescribed for glaucoma and some of the factors possibly associated with that noncompliance by interviewing 100 patients being followed in a setting emphasizing correct usage. Fifty-nine reported they had not used their eyedrops precisely as prescribed. Factors significantly influencing compliance included daily dose frequency, forgetfulness, inconvenience, and unaffordability. Gender and race were marginally significant factors, with men and blacks reporting somewhat higher rates of missed doses than women and whites. Side effects and age were not significant causes of noncompliance.
我们通过对100名在强调正确用药的环境中接受随访的患者进行访谈，研究了青光眼患者未按医嘱使用眼药水的失败率以及一些可能与这种不依从性相关的因素。59名患者报告他们没有完全按照医嘱使用眼药水。显著影响依从性的因素包括每日用药频率、遗忘、不便和费用负担。性别和种族是略微显著的因素，男性和黑人报告的漏用率略高于女性和白人。副作用和年龄不是不依从的显著原因。
