Abstract :
This complete enumeration, cross–sectional, descriptive study was conducted in March–April 2018 in the Physiology Department of a municipal medical college in Kalwa, Thane, Maharashtra, India after obtaining approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. After explaining the purpose and procedure of the study, written informed consent was obtained from the participants (medical students of either gender). Primary data related to visual examination (distant vision, near vision and colour vision) were recorded in a proforma. The mean age of male participants (n=34) was 19.06 +/– 1.01 years (95% CI: 18.72–19.40 years), while that for females (n=28) was 18.50 +/– 0.58 years (95% CI: 18.29–18.71 years). The frequency of myopia was higher among males but the gender difference was not statistically significant. Astigmatism was found in 4 eyes each of female and male participants, while red colour blindness was observed in one male participant (2 eyes).
