Compliance: _____% of GP patients actually have good compliance.

• A. 2%
• B. 20%
• C. 50%
• D. 85%

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that keeping up with all the recommended GP lens care and wear instructions is very challenging for patients, so only a tiny fraction really adheres to everything perfectly. Good compliance means following the full set of guidelines—how long the lens is worn, when and how to clean and disinfect, using the prescribed solutions, replacing the case, and attending follow-up visits, as well as avoiding overnight wear unless explicitly approved.

The best answer reflects that reality: a very small portion of GP wearers are truly compliant with every aspect of the regimen. This highlights why education and support are so important, because lapses can lead to deposits on the lens, surface roughness, corneal hypoxia, infections, or lens intolerance.

In practice, to boost compliance you’d emphasize clear, written instructions, demonstrate proper handling and cleaning step-by-step, simplify regimens when possible, and implement reminders and routine follow-ups to catch and address barriers the patient might have.
