Opportunity BasketGlaucoma surgery patients fail to comply with post-operative eye drop regimens, causing surgical failure
Glaucoma surgery patients must self-administer eye drops for weeks after surgery, but poor compliance rates drive surgical failure up to 40%. Current solutions rely on patient discipline and memory, which consistently fail in real-world conditions. This non-compliance directly undermines the success of an expensive surgical intervention and threatens patients' vision.
