Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted during small group teaching for 90 students, 7th term MBBS, HIMS, Hassan in July 2015. Students were divided into Group A and B of 45 each and underwent 2 CBL and 2 Seminar sessions on clinically important ophthalmology topics. Later they were crossed over. A pretest and post-test each of 25 score was conducted after each session and a feedback was obtained from students. Scores were evaluated and analysed. Statistical analysis was done and represented as Percentage, mean and comparison of scores was done using paired T-test. Results: Of the 90 students, scores of only 55 students were evaluated. Overall there was improvement in the post-test scores of both CBL and Seminar. Even though the difference in scores is more in CBL, outcome was found to be statistically insignificant (p value> 0.05). The student feedback showed CBL to be more effective than seminar. Conclusion: CBL post test scores were more than seminar post test scores. Student’s feedback analysis showed that students preferred CBL to Seminar in small group teaching in UG Ophthalmology teaching.
