Background: Cataract blindness has become a global health problem and must be solved immediately because blindness can affect the quality of life and productivity. In 2013-2017, a Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) was conducted in 15 provinces in Indonesia, one of which is North Sulawesi. The survey showed that the main cause of visual impairment and blindness in the 15 provinces was untreated cataracts.

Aim: To identify the dominant risk factors of cataract patients at the eye clinic of Gunung Maria Hospital Tomohon.

Result: The result showed there were a total of 40 cataract patients, 29 patients aged >60 years (72.5%) and 11 patients aged <60 years (27.5%). According to gender, there were 21 male cataract patients (52.5%) and 19 female cataract patients (47.5%). Based on smoking history, 17 patients smoked (42.5%) and 23 patients who did not smoke (57.5%). Based on the duration of sun exposure, 12 patients were daily exposed to sunlight for <5 hours (30%) and 28 patients were daily exposed to sunlight for >5 hours (70.0%).
