Study of Refractive Errors on Medical Students
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Refractive errors are becoming more of a problem in many societies, with prevalence rates of myopia in many Asian countries reaching epidemic proportions. To determine the prevalence of refractive errors among medical students of kadapa. The present cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among medical students for a period of 6 months and 100 medical students were included. Those students having eyestrain and defective vision were subjected to auto refraction using Canon auto refractometer. Average of 3 readings were taken and confirmed by subjective verification. Chi-square test with continuity correction, Z-test for standard error of difference between 2 proportions and Fischer’s exact probability test (done manually assisted by Epi-info package) were used. The prevalence of refractive errors was 32.24 %. Myopia (87.6%) was the most common refractive error with prevalence of 28.23 %.The occurrence of myopia was found high (28.23%) in medical students and the higher proportion were found among female students than male students
