Sažetak
Background: Glaucoma has been recognized as one of the leading global causes of irreversible blindness. Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma rarely present with visual symptoms, at least early in the course of the disease. It is important to recognize and treat the disease before there are irreversible changes. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Split School of Medicine from October to November 2021. Participants were biomedical students who completed a questionnaire. Results: In total, 312 students participated in this study. Interestingly, only 12.2% of students identified that primary open-angle glaucoma was asymptomatic. Only 42.6% of all students recognized glaucoma as being the main cause of irreversible blindness. Pharmacy students less frequently recognized high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus as risk factors for glaucoma. Students who completed an ophthalmology course more frequently recognized that successful glaucoma treatment prevents blindness, compared to students who did not complete the course, 79.1% vs. 48.7%, p < 0.001. Conclusion: The results showed that students’ knowledge on the subject is low, even after they passed their ophthalmology course. However, knowledge of glaucoma is crucial for early disease identification and the prevention of blindness. Therefore, it is important that all future health care professionals acquire adequate education.
