Abstract
The pharmacist and his staff are active players in providing advice on ocular diseases and taking care of patients. Moreover, pharmacists have to manage ocular therapeutics, urgent symptoms, and chronic diseases. However, in our study, 46.0% of pharmacists felt confident with their knowledge on ophthalmology, 36.4% did not give their opinion, and 7.0% were uncomfortable with some questions. Most community pharmacists mentioned a lack of continuing education from pharmaceutical companies and postgraduate education on ocular diseases and treatment, mainly for age-related maculopathy.
