Table 2:
Univariate and multivariate analyses of overnight wear compliance compared to age, gender, years of contact lens wear, manufacturer’s recommended replacement schedule (MRS), and lens replacement compliance in participants (n = 297) who were compliant (C) and noncompliant (NC) with their reported prescribed lens replacement schedules. MRS is listed as daily replacement (DR), monthly replacement (MR) and two-week replacement (2WR).

Multivariate individual comparisons of each MRS groups showed that there was no difference in overnight wear compliance in DR wearers compared to 2WR (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 0.70 – 3.60, p = 0.3) and MR wearers (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.43 – 2.46, p = 0.9). There was no difference in overnight wear compliance in 2WR wears compared to MR wearers (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.35 – 1.23, p = 0.2).
