Increased Near Activities Function Associated With Increased Glaucoma Medication Adherence Among Support, Educate, Empower (SEE) Participants.

ABSTRACT:

Precis

Higher levels of near vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) were associated with higher adherence to glaucoma medications after adjusting for important confounding variables among participants in the Support, Educate, Empower (SEE) personalized glaucoma coaching pilot study.

Purpose

To investigate the association between VRQoL and glaucoma medication adherence.

Materials and methods

Subjects were recruited for the SEE program, a prospective noncontrolled cohort study examining the impact of a personalized coaching program on glaucoma medication adherence. Glaucoma patients seen at the University of Michigan over 40 years old, taking ≥1 glaucoma medication, and self-reported poor adherence on 2 validated scales were recruited.
