Patient Practices and Challenges in Eye Drop Administration for Glaucoma Management: A Cross-Sectional Analysis
Abstract: Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, primarily managed with topical medications. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of glaucoma patients regarding eye drop administration at a tertiary eye hospital in Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. A cross-sectional survey and observation of 200 patients revealed knowledge gaps, inconsistent adherence, and poor techniques in medication use. Tailored educational interventions are needed to improve medication practices and outcomes.
Keywords: glaucoma, eye drop technique, patient education, medication adherence, rural healthcare
