Both knowledge and practice among contact lens (CL) wearers were improved after using a user-centered mobile application with educational content, interactive features, and reminders, according to a study.
Sixty neophyte contact lens wearers participated, with no significant differences in demographic or lens-use characteristics between groups.
Knowledge scores increased in both groups, with a greater increase in the mobile application group. Mean scores increased from 27.7 to 43.5 in the intervention group and from 27.7 to 33.6 in the control group.
Post-intervention practice scores were also higher in the intervention group than in the control group (93.6 vs 77.8), with a very large effect size (d = 4.19).
The findings suggest that mobile application–based training may improve contact lens knowledge and practices compared with routine training.
