Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand what characteristics patients value in eye drops for lowering intraocular pressure, using a willingness-to-pay survey with 230 participants from glaucoma practices.
- Patients reported symptoms like fatigue and blurred vision, with 77% currently using eye drops; many were willing to pay up to 40% more for drops that didn’t cause side effects like blurring.
- Results indicated that factors like higher education and income correlated with a greater willingness to pay for preferred eye drop attributes, suggesting that understanding these preferences could improve patient adherence to treatment.
