目的：要评估的表现，高眼压症和青光眼的患者谁是经验丰富的滴眼局部眼水肿medicines.Methods：我们进行了一项前瞻性的，开放标签的研究，在一个私人执业网站。我们招募了139名诊断为青光眼或高眼压症的患者，他们使用1种或多种局部眼部消肿药物至少6个月，并且自己滴注药物。患者被问及他们使用的局部眼部水肿药物，我们使用了一个视频记录，以评估患者的性能滴眼液滴2瓶designs.Results：患者报告相对较好的性能滴眼液。139名患者中有129名（92.8%）报告滴眼液没有问题，139名患者中有86名（61.9%）认为他们在滴眼液时从未错过眼睛。64名患者中有14名患者能够在不接触瓶子的情况下将一滴入眼睛，（21.9%）使用15 mL瓶，36/117（30.8%）使用2.5 mL瓶。在一次直接观察下，有使用局部眼用消肿剂经验的患者，当将单一眼药水滴入眼睛而不使瓶尖接触眼睛或眼内时，眼附属器
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma who are experienced in the instillation of topical ocular hypotensive medications.Methods: We conducted a prospective, open-label study at a single private practice site. We enrolled 139 patients with a diagnosis of glaucoma or ocular hypertension who used 1 or more topical ocular hypotensive medications for at least 6 months and who instilled their own medications. Patients were questioned regarding their use of topical ocular hypotensive medications, and we used a video recording to evaluate patient performance of eyedrop instillation with 2 bottle designs.Results: Patients reported relatively good performance on eyedrop instillation. One hundred twenty-nine of 139 patients (92.8%) reported no problem putting in their eyedrops, and 86 of 139 (61.9%) believed that they never missed their eye when administering the drops. The proportions of patients who were able to instill a single drop into the eye without touching the bottle to the eye were 14 of 64 (21.9%) with a 15-mL bottle and 36 of 117 (30.8%) with a 2.5-mL bottle.Conclusions: Under a single direct observation, patients experienced in the use of topical ocular hypotensive agents performed relatively poorly when instilling a single eyedrop into the eye without touching the bottle tip to the eye or the ocular adnexae.
