Abstract
The first line treatment for glaucoma, a chronic condition which is the second biggest cause of irreversible vision loss in the globe, is self-administered topical ocular hypotensive drops. Medication adherence is a major issue in the management of glaucoma patients. Numerous obstacles to patients’ compliance have been discovered in the literature, ranging from elements related to the drug delivered, interactions between patients and their doctors, and elements related to patients’ behaviours and lifestyles. Patients who do not take their medications as directed run the danger of not getting the expected results, which frequently results in irreversible vision loss. We have reviewed available literature regarding patient compliance in the disease management of glaucoma and formulated a few recommendations based on the latest research in the field to practically apply in practice to increase compliance in this chronic condition.
