Self-care behavior has become increasingly common. The use of over-the-counter medications is derived from the concept of self-care. Because such medications may be accessible to and taken by family members of various age groups, medication packaging is a crucial factor influencing drug use intentions. The purpose of this study is to focus on evaluating current eye drops packaging design and to improve design in order to meet Visual Universal Design (VUD) principles.
This study was conducted in four stages. In the first stage, the packaging design of eye drops currently sold on the market was analyzed. In addition, an eye-drop purchaser thinking and behavior survey was conducted to determine their medication needs and habits, and collect the potential concerns they have with eye-drop packaging. In the second stage, according to the collected concerns and 10 visual universal design criteria, specific evaluation indicators were established for examining eye-drop packaging. In the third stage, three design improvement schemes were implemented according to the deficiencies and design specifications of eye-drop packaging summarized in the second stage. In the fourth stage, the three schemes were evaluated and verified according to the visual universal design criteria.
The following concludes packaging redesign project: (1) Having concrete improvement plans by following VUD principles; (2) Improve color and pictures on current packaging; (3) By having professional and user friendly eye-drop packaging design, it is not only benefit elderly, but also younger population.
