Patients’ Acceptance of Glaucoma Therapy in Sub-Saharan Africa

20242 citationsUniversity of Calabar

Abstract

Patients' acceptance of glaucoma therapy was high overall, but lower for surgery than for laser or medical therapy. Most patients who declined laser or surgical therapy accepted medical therapy as an alternate therapy when offered. Educational interventions, sustainable incentives, and other approaches are needed to enhance patient acceptance of glaucoma therapy in this setting, particularly surgery, when needed.
