The leading cause of blindness in the world is cataracts, which are dangerous and curable with proper eye care. Eye care service is thought to play significant role in prevention. Nonetheless, not much research has been done to gauge older persons' in rural India's level of cataract awareness and how it relates to their use of eye care services. Therefore, in order to prevent cataracts in the elderly, we described a self-instruction model for cataract knowledge and looked into the variations between pre- and post-test self-instruction models. Their demographic characteristics showed that the higher age group female had highest prevalence of cataracts. The study population's understanding of cataracts is incredibly low: only 2% of participants have adequate knowledge, 52% have somewhat adequate information, and 46% have inadequate knowledge. However, after completing the self-instructional module, 54% of participants felt they knew enough to prevent cataracts. The results of the study showed that the self-instructional module was very helpful in helping the senior population learn about cataract prevention. More interventional research with a larger sample size should be carried out to gain a better understanding of cataract prevention in older adults,.
