During a free screening at a major medical meeting, volunteer ophthalmologists educated attendees about glaucoma. A questionnaire was given to participants before and six months after the screenings to evaluate changes in their knowledge of glaucoma risk factors; the results showed a significant and enduring improvement (p < 0.02) in respondents' knowledge about glaucoma.
