“…Improper drop instillation has been cited as an important feature in non-adherence to glaucoma medications. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Although we did not directly observe patients instilling their medication, as only 42% stated they had received instruction on how to do so and 26% of patients reported an insufficient time interval (< five minutes) between consecutive medications, then it is reasonable to assume some patients would be doing this incorrectly.…”

“…They can be grouped into four major types: medication regimen, patient factors, provider factors, and situational or environmental factors. 9 These include poor education, lack of motivation, forgetfulness, drop application, and other practical issues including delivery systems (single-use containers, multiple-use bottles), 15 together with specific individual and age differences. 33 Forgetfulness was the major reason stated for non-adherence in our study and this is well recognized in adherence studies in glaucoma.…”

“…[32][33][34] A 2018 study compared the price and medication waste of single-use blister packs with bottles of medication and determined that bottles were, overall, more cost-effective than single-use medications even after accounting for over-or under-consumption of medication on a monthly basis. 35 As the most costeffective means of obtaining topical medications is a stock bottle, the adaptor could, therefore, extend the use of these medications beyond what is currently available through other products. Moreover, one study determined through costadjusted quality of life algorithms that a measure costing $550/year or less to improve medication adherence for glaucoma patients would be considered highly cost effective.…”
