The damaging and insidious nature of glaucoma makes it easily complicated without being noticed. Current patient education methods used in most hospitals rely heavily on direct interaction with healthcare providers, which may not be sustainable due to high patient loads and limited healthcare personnel. Therefore, there was an urgent need for self-instructional materials tailored to the specific educational needs of glaucoma patients to enhance their self-management capabilities. This study developed and implemented of cue cards on secondary prevention of glaucoma among patients attending eye clinic at Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. This study adopted exploratory sequential mixed method research design. Leslie Kish formula was used in calculating 12 experts who participated in the Delphi phase of the study. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The developed cue card improved the knowledge of glaucoma prevention and attitudinal disposition of patients attending the eye clinic at Federal Medical Centre Abeokuta, Ogun State. It was recommended that health professionals across the nation should utilize the cue card to enhance patients' education on glaucoma.
