Do African American patients with glaucoma ask their eye providers the questions they have?

Although African American subjects with glaucoma have questions about glaucoma and their medications, few asked all their questions during visits. Future research should focus on how to improve question asking using a question prompt list.

Ophthalmologist-patient communication, self-efficacy, and glaucoma medication adherence.

These findings indicate that provider education about how to administer glaucoma drops and patient glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy are associated positively with adherence.
