“…Cho et al 9 found that the “good” compliance rate for ortho-k in Hong Kong was 52% (n=38). Sapkota 12 showed that the “good” compliance rate for traditional soft-lens wearers was 28.2% (n=78). A multinational investigation by Morgan et al 11 showed that the full compliance rate was 14.7% for daily disposable contact lens wear, 0.2% for extended wear contact lenses, and 0% for ordinary RGP contact lenses.…”

“…In addition, different types of contact lenses have different compliance rates, which vary greatly from 0% to 60%. 9 – 12 In a study by Morgan et al, 11 different countries also had varying compliance rates for contact lens wearers. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has examined the compliance rates for ortho-k lenses in Mainland China.…”

“…Kuzman et al found total compliance to be 21% of their asymptomatic CL wearing subjects (16). Sapkota found good compliance in 36%, average compliance in 49% and poor compliance in 15% in the study which is conducted to determine compliance in medical doctors and they didn't find statistically significant difference between medical doctors and age matched CL wearing normal subjects (11). The most noncompliant behaviors were failing to replace the lens cases and lenses according to the recommended replacement schedule, water activities with lenses, topping off solutions, and sleeping with lenses.…”

“…Each participant underwent CL examination and comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, including review of medical history, corrected distance visual acuity, slit-lamp microscopy, and funduscopic examination. The questionnaire was developed regarding lens wear habits and hygiene behaviors by revising questionnaire used in previous studies (9)(10)(11)(12). The revised questionnaire was interviewed by the same ophthalmologist before the examination procedure.…”

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ:Kontakt lens kullanımına uyumu değerlendirmek, kontakt lens kullananların demografik profillerini ve temel uyumsuz davranışlarını belirlemek. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: 257 kontakt lens kullanıcısı, bir anket formu kullanılarak tek bir göz doktoru tarafından değerlendirildi. Sorular kontakt lens kullanıcılarının, kontakt lens hijyen davranışlarını, lens bakımına yönelik tutumlarını ve demografik özelliklerini ele aldı. BULGULAR: Lens kullananların yaş ortalaması 29'du ve çoğunluğu kadınlardan oluşmaktaydı (% 78). Bildirilen başlıca uyumsuz davranışlar lenslerle uyumak (% 70.5), lenslerle su aktivitelerine katılmak (% 52.5), lens kaplarını düzgün bir şekilde temizlememek (% 44) ve lensleri önerilen lens değiştirme sıklığına göre değiştirmemekti (% 47,5). Katılımcıların kontakt lens kullanımına uyumu ile yaş, cinsiyet, kontakt lenslerin günlük kullanım süreleri, kontakt lens toplam kullanım süresi, göz muayenesi sıklığı, eğitim düzeyi, kontakt lens bakımı ile ilgili bilgi kaynağı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir iliski tespit edilmedi. TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Lenslerle uyumak, lenslerle su aktivitelerine katılmak, lens kutularını düzgün bir şekilde temizlememek ve lensleri önerilen lens değiştirme sıklığına göre değiştirmemek, lens kullananlardaki yaygın uyumsuz davranışlardı. Anahtar Kelimeler: kompliyans, kontakt lensler, demografik özellikler ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: To identify the demographics profile of lens wearers, to evaluate compliance to contact lens use, and to determine major noncompliant behaviours. METHODS: 257 contact lens wearers were sequentially interviewed by a single ophthalmologist by using a questionnaire. The questions addressed the demographics of contact lens wearers, contact lens hygiene behaviors and attitudes towards lens care. RESULTS:The mean age of lens wearers was 29 years with the majority of females (78%). Major reported forms of noncompliance were sleeping with lenses (70.5%), participating in water activities with lenses (52.5%), not cleaning lens cases properly (44%), and not replacing the lenses according to the recommended lens replacement frequency (47.5%). There was not statistically significant difference in compliance levels between participants in regard to age, gender, contact lens wearing hours per day, duration of contact lens use, frequency of eye examinations, education level, source of knowledge about contact lens care, and different types of contact lens purchase. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION:Sleeping with lenses, participating in water activities with lenses, not cleaning lens cases properly, and not replacing the lenses according to the recommended lens replacement frequency are the common noncompliant behaviors in lens wearers.
