Indicazioni e comportamenti sulla manutenzione di applicatori e portatori di lenti a contatto. Rifl essioni sulla compliance in Italia<br />
Conclusioni<br />
Lo studio ha evidenziato le principali aree di non<br />
osservanza dei portatori, analizzandole in relazione<br />
alle istruzioni d’uso forn<strong>it</strong>e dagli esperti del settore.<br />
Le aree che maggiormente evidenziano i più bassi<br />
livelli di compliance riguardano il “rub e il rinse”<br />
dopo la rimozione delle lac, e la gestione degli accessori.<br />
Le istruzioni forn<strong>it</strong>e dagli applicatori in mer<strong>it</strong>o<br />
alla gestione e la manutenzione degli accessori, quali<br />
conten<strong>it</strong>ori o fl aconi di soluzione, appaiono carenti<br />
e talvolta contradd<strong>it</strong>torie. È intuibile che vi è una<br />
relazione tra il livello di compliance di un portatore<br />
e la formazione, nonché il continuo aggiornamento,<br />
del professionista in mer<strong>it</strong>o alle nuove proposte e<br />
iniziative provenienti dal mondo contattologico.<br />

Abstract<br />
Purpose: To analyze the behavior of contact lens<br />
wearers regarding the contact lens care in relation to<br />
the instructions given by the contact lens pract<strong>it</strong>ioner.<br />
Method: Two questionnaires were prepared: one for<br />
contact lens wearers (n:110) and the other for contact<br />
lens pract<strong>it</strong>ioners (n:790). The fi rst was given to contact<br />
lens wearers of two optical practices of central Italy, the<br />
second one was sent on line or hard copy to contact<br />
lens pract<strong>it</strong>ioners that were randomly selected.<br />
Results: The analysed questionnaires were 110 for<br />
wearers and 108 for contact lens pract<strong>it</strong>ioners. In<br />
almost all areas a certain degree of non-compliance<br />
is evident. The contact lens case management<br />
represents the area in which the rates of non<br />
compliance are higher.<br />
Conclusions: The areas characterized by the<br />
lowest levels of compliance where less attention is<br />
dedicated are the same for contact lens wearers and<br />
contect lens pratictioners. The remarks of the contact<br />
lens pract<strong>it</strong>ioners proved to be sometimes poor and<br />
contradictory. It is presumable that there is a relation<br />
between the level of compliance and education of<br />
the contact lens wearers as well as updating of the<br />
pract<strong>it</strong>ioner about new opportun<strong>it</strong>ies and in<strong>it</strong>iatives<br />
in the contact lens world.<br />
Key words<br />
Contact lens care; compliance; complications<br />
