Patient-physician communication on medication cost during glaucoma visits.
The aim of this secondary analysis was to describe the frequency and nature of patient-physician communication regarding medication cost during glaucoma office visits. Most participants did not discuss medication cost during their glaucoma office visit. The majority of the subjects who discussed cost had mild disease severity (51 percent), took one glaucoma medication (63 percent), and had Medicare (49 percent) as well as a form of prescription insurance (78 percent).
