Key result
Glaucoma medication adherence rates vary widely across studies with differing assessment conditions precluding comparative analysis.
Why the study?
Adherence to pharmacological therapy is crucial to control glaucoma and prevent complications such as visual loss and irreversible blindness, making its evaluation important.

Adherence data in glaucoma warrant cautious interpretation due to inconsistent methods; leaves open the need for standardized assessment protocols in research.
What are the medication adherence rates and how are they assessed in patients with glaucoma?
Adherence rates to glaucoma medication vary widely and are assessed using highly variable methods, highlighting the need for standardized assessment and improved health literacy.
Rosu et al. (2020) conducted a review in Glaucoma. Medication therapy adherence was evaluated on Adherence rates and assessment conditions. Medication adherence rates in glaucoma were found to be highly variable across studies, with differing assessment conditions precluding proper comparative analysis.
