Abstract. Purpose:Elderly patients of glaucoma(>75 years)were interviewed regarding the usage of eyedrops. Case and Method:This study involved 61 patients who had been using eyedrops for 3 months or longer. The relation between clinical factors of sex, age, duration of disease, number of eyedrops, self-supported degree of eyedrops and frequency of forgetting eyedrops were studied. Frequency of forgetting eyedrops was converted into numerical data. Statistical analysis was performed on the elder patient group(>85 years)and the semi-elder patients group(<85 years). Result:The score of forgetting eyedrops was 3.7±0.6 in all elderly patients. 90.2% patients had obtained self-supported of eyedrops. The score of forgetting eyedrops was 3.8±0.5 in the semi-elder patients group, 3.7±0.6 in the elder patients group. The difference was not significant(p=0.88). 96.9% patients had obtained self-supported of eyedrops in the semi-elder patients group, 82.8% in the elder patients group. There was a tendency for self-supported degree to worsen in the elder patient group(p=0.06). Conclusion:Compliance with eyedrops treatment was equality. However, there was a tendency for self-supported degree to worsen in the elder patient group.
