BACKGROUND In many parts of India Glaucoma patients present for Ophthalmology checkup when their disease is in advanced stage and at that point of time majority of their vision is already lost. There are many studies addressing awareness about Glaucoma in general population but there is a paucity of literature on awareness in medical students. Keeping this in mind we planned this study to judge knowledge about Glaucoma in medical students of ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Faridabad. As these medical students will have huge responsibility of Glaucoma awareness in society and early referral of Glaucoma patients to Ophthalmologist will be possible only if these future doctors are sensitized.
