As the population ages, visual impairment and chronic illness requiring drug therapy both increase. Older people have difficulty reading medication instructions, handling packaging, and identifying tablets. The extent to which visual impairment is associated with medication non-compliance is, however, unknown. This study compares medication non-compliance in visually impaired older people with a matched sample of normally sighted people. It also seeks to explore the effect of pharmaceutical packaging.
