The study was conducted to investigate whether there is a relationship between contact lens compliance and the interval between full eye examinations (IEE).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was conducted in ECP offices in the United States. Eye care practitioners and patients independently completed linked questionnaires, evaluating their contact lens wear and care. Patients were required to be current wearers of daily disposable (DD) lenses or reusable silicone hydrogel lenses with a manufacturer\u2010recommended replacement frequency (MRRF) of 2 weeks (2WR) or 1 month (1MR).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 2147 questionnaires from 141 offices were eligible. Fifty\u2010four percent of patients were wearing 2WR, 37% 1MR, and 9% DD lenses. Wearers of 2WR lenses were significantly less compliant with replacement than wearers of both DD and 1MR lenses (34% vs. 74% and 67%, both p &lt; 0.001); patients purchasing an annual supply were more compliant (55% vs. 45%, p &lt; 0.001). The mean IEE was 16 months and was longer for wearers who were noncompliant with the MRRF (17.4 months vs. 14.5 months, p &lt; 0.001). Other factors affecting IEE were household income (p = 0.030), insurance (p &lt; 0.001), purchase source (p &lt; 0.001), and sex (p = 0.007).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients who were not compliant with the MRRF had longer IEEs and were less likely to purchase an annual supply of lenses. Patients who purchased lenses from their ECP, had a higher household income, had eye examination insurance, and were female had shorter IEEs. Patients failing to replace their lenses when scheduled were also found to be less compliant with lens care procedures. Eye care practitioners should reinforce the importance of all aspects of lens wear and care with their patients, with the overall aim of reducing possible complications and retaining successful contact lens wearers in their offices.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/opx.0b013e318288afcb","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,3,1]],"date-time":"2013-03-01T13:37:23Z","timestamp":1362145043000},"page":"351-358","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Compliance with Lens Replacement and the Interval between Eye Examinations"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Kathy","family":"Dumbleton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Contact Lens Research School of Optometry and Vision Science University of Waterloo Waterloo Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doris","family":"Richter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Contact Lens Research School of Optometry and Vision Science University of Waterloo Waterloo Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Bergenske","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Alcon Fort Worth Texas"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lyndon W.","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Contact Lens Research School of Optometry and Vision Science University of Waterloo Waterloo Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mlr.0000114908.90348.f9","article-title":"Variations in patients' adherence to medical recommendations: a quantitative review of 50 years of research","volume":"42","author":"DiMatteo MR","year":"2004","journal-title":"Med Care"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.2147\/TCRM.S1458","article-title":"Factors affecting therapeutic compliance: a review from the patient's perspective","volume":"4","author":"Jin J","year":"2008","journal-title":"Ther Clin Risk Manag"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"952","DOI":"10.1097\/00006324-198612000-00004","article-title":"Patient compliance and its influence on contact lens wearing problems","volume":"63","author":"Collins MJ","year":"1986","journal-title":"Am J Optom Physiol Opt"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1444-0938.1986.tb04586.x","article-title":"Compliance with care and maintenance procedures amongst contact lens wearers","volume":"69","author":"Collins M","year":"1986","journal-title":"Clin Exp Optom"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"216","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clae.2011.03.001","article-title":"The relationship between compliance with lens replacement and contact lens\u2010related problems in silicone hydrogel wearers","volume":"34","author":"Dumbleton KA","year":"2011","journal-title":"Cont Lens Anterior Eye"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","first-page":"26","article-title":"International contact lens prescribing in 2011","volume":"27","author":"Morgan PB","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cont Lens Spect"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","unstructured":"American Optometric Association.Recommended Eye Examination Frequency for Pediatric Patients and Adults.
