The prevalence of glaucoma is estimated at 111.8 million people will suffer from glaucoma in 2040, so that through good knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of health workers, it can support the control of the severity of glaucoma. Purpose: To assess awareness and knowledge about glaucoma, attitude and behavior to glaucoma screening in Health center, Makassar city, South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Result: Health workers As many as 52 respondents had a good level of knowledge, 55 respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge, and no respondents had a poor level of knowledge. Attitudes towards glaucoma were obtained 86 respondents (80.4%) conducted visual acuity tests on patients who complained of impaired vision, 76 respondents (71%) conducted visual field tests on patients suspected of glaucoma, 71 respondents (66.4%) conducted eyeball palpation examinations on patients suspected of glaucoma, and as many as 98 respondents (91.6%) behaved positively as indicated by referring patients with glaucoma to hospitals that have eye specialists. Conclusion: Awareness and level of knowledge about glaucoma among health workers in health centers are good.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between laptop use and the degree of Near Point Convergence (NPC) among employees at the Makassar Eye Hospital in 2024 using the Royal Air Force Rule (RAF Rule) tool. The research uses a descriptive method with a cross-sectional approach involving 36 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical tests. Results showed no significant relationship between NPC and age (p = 0.149) or gender (p = 0.480). However, a significant relationship was found between screen time and NPC (p = 0.035), suggesting that prolonged laptop use can negatively affect convergence ability. These findings underscore the need for awareness and preventive strategies among individuals with extended screen exposure to minimize risks of convergence insufficiency.
