Medical adherence is crucial for glaucoma patients to reduce the risk of vision loss. Regular use of prescribed treatments, like eye drops, may control intraocular pressure and slow disease progression. Adherence to prescribed treatment may increase the chances to preserve vision, avoid surgery, and enhance quality of life. Non-adherence to medicines can lead to worsened conditions, increased costs of managing further complications, and irreversible blindness. By following the prescribed treatment plans, patients may choose to empower themselves, maintain independence, and foster a strong doctor-patient relationship.
