The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge (p = 0.033) and duration of illness (p = 0.035), whereas intraocular pressure was not related (p = 0.317) with the quality of life of glaucoma patients at Mata Undaan Hospital in Surabaya. The conclusion of this study is that knowledge and duration of illness are related to the quality of life of glaucoma patients, whereas intraocular pressure is not related to the quality of life of glaucoma patients.
