Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern, largely due to improper antibiotic use, storage, and re-use by residents of Saudi Arabia, leading to serious health risks.
- A study surveyed 738 participants across various demographics, revealing that while most understood the purpose of antibiotics, a significant number reused leftover medications without completing prescribed courses.
- Findings suggest a need for enhanced public health measures and education to address the misuse of antibiotics, especially among families with children.

This study investigated, qualitatively and quantitatively, factors influencing optometric referrals and replies.
