Long-Term Effect of Systemic Comorbidity on Glaucoma Medication Adherence

Adherence to glaucoma medication is vital for preserving visual function and preventing vision deterioration over time.1 Therefore, among patients with glaucoma, medication adherence is crucial for controlling intraocular pressure and preventing further vision loss. However, medication adherence has often been reported to be unsatisfactory among patients with glaucoma, with noncompliance rates ranging from 30% to 50%.2 Understanding the reasons for this high rate of noncompliance is crucial for developing effective policies and interventions to improve medication adherence.
