Abstrak : Katarak merupakan kondisi terjadinya kekeruhan pada lensa mata. Kejadian katarak sering ditemukan pada orang lanjut usia dan biasanya terjadi karena proses penuaan. Katarak merupakan penyebab kebutaan tertinggi di Indonesia. Provinsi Sulawesi Utara merupakan daerah dengan angka kejadian katarak tertinggi di Indonesia. Salah satu alasan mengapa tingginya kejadian katarak sampai saat ini, yaitu karena sebagian besar pasien banyak yang tidak tahu apabila mereka menderita katarak sehingga menolak melakukan operasi. Masih banyak orang yang belum mengetahui secara jelas tentang katarak. Pengetahuan memiliki peran yang penting dalam terjadinya suatu penyakit. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran pengetahuan tentang katarak pada siswa sekolah khususnya siswa kelas XII SMA Negeri 7 Manado. Pada penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan sampel sebanyak 78 responde dan pengambilan data diperoleh dengan menjawab kuesioner.
