Glaucoma patient expression of medication problems and nonadherence.
The purpose of this article was to evaluate what patient characteristics led patients to express (1) medication problems, including difficulty with side effects and eye drop administration, and (2) problems with nonadherence to glaucoma medications. It found that patients with lower health literacy are less likely to express medication-related problems and patients who express medication problems often express nonadherence.
