Summary
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, but many people don't know about it until it's too late. This completed study at a large hospital in Pakistan asked 379 eye clinic patients about their knowledge and beliefs regarding glaucoma. By identifying common gaps and misconceptions, the results aim to guide future awareness programs and encourage earlier eye checkups.
