What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study looks at ways to help people with glaucoma take their eye drops regularly and attend their clinic appointments. Each participant will be asked about the main challenges they face, such as forgetfulness, difficulty using drops, lack of transportation, or limited understanding of their condition. Based on their biggest challenge, participants will receive one type of support that is already part of usual care, such as education, reminders, help with applying drops, or assistance getting to appointments. The investigators will follow participants over time to see if this support improves how well they follow their treatment and their quality of life.
