Factors significantly influencing compliance included severity of the better eye, the severity of symptom when attacked, duration of medication and whether to administrate on the same time daily ( OR=5. 700,0. 554,0. 336,0. 558,P<0. 05). Age, gender, marital status, education level, economic status, domicile, knowledge of the disease, suffering from other diseases with medication, type of glaucoma, type of eye drop, frequency were not associated with a higher rate of non-compliance.• CONCLUSION: Compliance in patients with topical glaucoma therapy in Wuhan is poor.
