Reasons Of Non-Compliance To Replacement Schedule Of Contact Lenses And Its Effect On Ocular Health And Contact Lens Parameters.
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study looks at the causes of non-compliance to contact lens (CL) replacement schedules and analyses the effects on CL parameters and ocular health, as a result a thorough examination including surveys given to CL users and eye care practitioner (ECP), as well as clinical assessments given to CL users who do not comply. Findings show a considerable mismatch between suggested and actual replacement procedures, which can result in several ocular health problems. This study highlights that to reduce the hazards related to non-compliance, more patient education and adherence methods are required. The results emphasize the complexity of non-compliance, considering elements like expense, forgetfulness, and ignorance. To raise compliance rates and enhance the general state of ocular health, suggestions for practitioners and public health policies are addressed.
