Opportunity for Research

Opportunity for practices to be involved in a research study: Use of the Health Belief Model to explore the content for a new pilot contact lens compliance questionnaire.

Lead researcher: Reena Joshi, optometrist and postgraduate researcher (at Anglia Ruskin University).

About this research:

The current phase of the study requires attending an interview to discuss daily disposable soft contact lens wearers’ beliefs and attitudes towards following eye care practitioner’s recommendations on lens wear and care.  For the study,  input is required from contact lens patients living in various locations across England for demographic analysis.

Request to practices: Display poster in practice to help recruit study participants (link to poster here)
