Abstract:
In an attempt to increase patient compliance with a dosing regimen, prescriptions for topical solutions of glaucoma medication were refilled using the C Cap, a memory aid designed to help patients to remember to instill the medication as prescribed. A comparison of the number of prescription refills requested by 121 patients with glaucoma showed that patients who received the C Cap requested significantly more refills in the six months after receiving the C Cap than before and requested significantly more refills than did patients who did not receive the C Cap.
