Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Intraocular Pressure
Intraocular pressure measurements will be extracted from each patient's medical record at the baseline, 6 month, and 12 month follow-up visits. For all time points, a mean intraocular pressure will be calculated by averaging the intraocular pressure across both eyes. Change in intraocular pressure over the 12 month period will then be assessed by calculating the difference in mean intraocular pressure.
12 months
Glaucoma Medication Percent Adherence
Medication adherence will be measured using the number of recorded doses from the Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) data, divided by the number of prescribed doses. Medication adherence can range from 0% to 100%.
12 months
Glaucoma Medication Adherence Self-Efficacy Score
Medication adherence self-efficacy is measured using a 21-item scale that has a reliability of 0.89. Scores can range from 21 to 63, and a higher score indicates a better outcome.
12 months

Question Prompt List and Video
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will watch an educational video and question prompt list will be provided. Glaucoma visits will be audio-taped. A 15-20-minute interview will be conducted after the visit by a research assistant.
Usual Care
NO INTERVENTIONThe usual care group will not receive any intervention. Glaucoma visits will be audio-taped. A 15-20-minute interview will be conducted after the visit by a research assistant.
Interventions
A short educational video will be presented on an iPad about the importance of encouraging patients to ask questions and to be involved during glaucoma visits to improve self-management skills. A question prompt list will also be completed where participants check questions of interest to ask the provider.
