    Objective: This research aims to evaluate the effect of web-based training given to contact lens users on their compliance with contact lens use. Material and Methods: The research is an experimental study consisting of intervention and control groups. The data were collected at 3 time points: on presentation to the hospital, 1 month after training, and 3 months after training. The intervention group consists of contact lens users who received web-based training, and the control group consists of individuals who received brochure training given in the clinic. The data were collected using individual characteristics form, contact lens application checklist, contact lens application information sheet and medical examination form. The data were analysed using chi-square and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The contact lens compliance level of individuals in the intervention group was found to be significantly higher compared to individuals in the control group. There were more contact lens-related complications in individuals in the control group compared with those in the intervention group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The present study revealed the high efficiency of the web-based training on the compliance in the contact lens wearers. Since this study is the first to investigate the effect of web-based training on the compliance of contact lens users, the developed web-based training program can be a guide for relevant health professionals.
