The costs for glaucoma care are rising worldwide.
The main reason is the increase of life expectancy and the increasing variety of diagnostic tests and therapeutically options by implants and devices.
How can we influence the increase in costs? Does a relationship exist between the rising costs and the behavior of patients especially in regard to adherence of patients to the prescribed therapy? Are there ways to improve adherence? The costs of a disease can be estimated by adding the direct costs and the indirect costs deriving from the disease.
Many studies have been looking at the direct costs, for example, the costs of diagnostic tests and treatment modalities.
Unfortunately, not many studies investigated the indirect costs, i.e., costs related to the need of a person to accompany the patient during his or her outpatient visits or the costs deriving from loss of work capacity because of the disease itself or the outpatient visits.
Adherence or the synonym compliance has been discussed since many years, and it seems that it remains a major problem in the management of many chronic diseases.
Despite all efforts to improve adherence, the adherence rate in chronic diseases such as glaucoma or arterial hypertension remains considerably low.
One of the main factors in improving adherence is raising patient’s awareness of the disease by providing general understanding of their disease.
Other important factors are simplified therapeutic regimens, e.g., fixed combination drops, sustained drug release techniques, or new glaucoma surgical procedures with a more favorable risk profile.
