The purpose of the study was to examine: (a) how patient adherence and eye drop technique were associated with visual field defect severity and (b) how general glaucoma adherence self-efficacy and eye drop technique self-efficacy were related to visual field defect severity. Cross-sectional study conducted at a single private practice site. Patients on eye drops for their glaucoma. We measured subjects’ adherence to glaucoma medications through Medication Events Monitoring System (MEMS) devices and assessed eye drop instillation technique by video-recording. We measured general glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy using a 10-item scale and eye drop technique self-efficacy using a 6-item scale. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Visual field defect severity. Patients who were less than 80% adherent according to the MEMS caps were significantly more likely to have worse defect severity. Patients with lower scores on the general glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy scale were also significantly more likely to have worse defect severity. Eye drop technique and eye drop technique self-efficacy were not significantly related to visual field defect severity. Eye care providers need to assess patient adherence and work with those patients with poor adherence to find ways to improve their ability and self-efficacy in using their glaucoma medications.
