This study aimed to analyze risk factors associated with cataract among ophthalmology outpatients at Dian Harapan Hospital, Jayapura, Papua, in 2025, providing local evidence from Papua where facility-based epidemiological data remain limited. A quantitative analytic cross-sectional design was used with secondary data from medical records of 202 outpatients selected through purposive sampling from January to December 2025. The variables examined were age, ethnicity, occupation, history of diabetes mellitus, history of eye disease, history of ocular trauma, and history of eye surgery. Cataract was significantly associated with older age and history of ocular trauma. In multivariate analysis, history of ocular trauma was the most dominant factor. These findings support risk-based early detection and better prioritization of cataract services in referral eye care.
