Abstrak: Pterigium merupakan suatu pertumbuhan jaringan fibrovaskular pada konjungtiva bulbar yang bersifat degeneratif dan invasif. Faktor utama pemicu terjadinya pterigium ialah sinar ultraviolet sehingga beraktivitas diluar ruangan dalam waktu yang cukup lama dapat meningkatkan risiko terjadinya pterigium. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran tingkat pengetahuan tentang pterigium pada pengendara bentor di Kecamatan Mananggu. Jenis penelitian ialah survei deskriptif. Sampel penelitian diambil menggunakan teknik accidental sampling dan diperoleh 36 responden yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui kuesioner yang berisi 10 pertanyaan terkait pterigium dan dianalisis secara univariat.
