Background: Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," poses a significant global public health challenge, leading to irreversible vision loss if not detected and managed early. This study aimed to assess awareness and knowledge levels regarding glaucoma, its risk factors, and the importance of regular eye exams among the population of District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving 400 adults residing in urban and rural areas of District Kangra was conducted between April and July 2023. Participants completed a structured questionnaire covering demographic information and 20 knowledge-related questions about glaucoma. Data analysis was performed using Epi Info V7 Software. Results: The study revealed varying levels of knowledge among participants. Approximately 43% correctly understood what glaucoma is, while 41% could name common glaucoma symptoms. Notably, 64% expressed opinions on improving glaucoma awareness. While some participants demonstrated reasonable knowledge, substantial gaps were observed, particularly in recognizing risk factors and prevention methods. Conclusion: Comprehensive education campaigns are essential to address knowledge gaps and enhance awareness about glaucoma in District Kangra. Improving public knowledge can lead to timely eye care seeking behavior, ultimately reducing the burden of glaucoma-related vision impairment and improving residents' overall quality of life.
