One hundred patients referred to GLAUCOMA clinic of Nikookary Eye Hospital were selected through “easy sampling method”,. The final analysis of data was done with descriptive and inferential statistical methods and SPSS.Results: 19% of patients had good level of KNOWLEDGE about their disease whereas %69 had average level and %12 had weak level of KNOWLEDGE.
