Determinants of adherence to treatment in patients with ophthalmic conditions

CONCLUSION: We identified as determinants for encouraging good ophthalmic adherence the adverse events presented, duration of the study, female sex, and older age; other determinants such as medical condition, protocol treatment, type of treatment and disease are all risk factors for adherence. Improvements in ophthalmic adherence may be achieved by focused attention to young male patients with chronic degenerative diseases such as glaucoma or ocular hypertension (especially those who need combination therapy) and developing medications with reduced side effects.PMID:37978952 | DOI:10.1080/17512433.2023.2279740
