with 58%, while 6% preferred the special sleeves with odors and 36% with both (5). At the end of the study, participants informed us what type of sleeve would be more useful and easier for proper identification of the bottles. Fifty-eight percent of the participants preferred the special sleeves with textures, 6% the special sleeve with scents, and 36% the special sleeves with both odors and scents. The use of special sleeves with different textures and odors facilitated the identification of the different eyedrop bottles, reducing the risk of misuse of the drugs. Although the 3 types of sleeves reduced the risks of eyedrop misidentification, most participants preferred just the special sleeves with different textures. Thus, the study showed how we could take advantage of the intact senses of patients with visual impairments to avoid eyedrop misidentification that may cause harmful effects. The improper use of eyedrops and incorrect identification of eyedrops are problems that need to be resolved (5).
