Description
Glaucoma quietly destroys side vision and blinds more people irreversibly than any other eye disease, often because it is caught late. Bhagabat Nayak and co-authors surveyed in 2025 four hundred twenty-three medical students and health workers at an eastern India teaching hospital about what they know, feel, and do regarding the disease. Residents scored best on knowledge and attitude questions; faculty led on practice.
Most had learned of glaucoma in training and knew its family links, pressure cause, and silent vision loss. Yet only forty-two percent knew treatment lasts for life. Nurses showed warm attitudes but weaker knowledge and practice. The authors call for seminars and media teaching aimed at health workers themselves.
