Abstract: Purpose: Our aim is to study ocular diseases in symptomless and symptomatic newly admitted medical students in the Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional clinical study was conducted in Faculty of Medicine Ain Shams University. The study included 304 new medical students of class 2015 and 2016 who were randomly selected upon admission to college on October 2015 and October 2016 and who agreed to participate in this study. All participants underwent a complete ophthalmologic evaluation including detailed history and unaided visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment examination and assessment of binocular vision by titmus test. Results: 301 students (99.0%) have normal gross stereopsis and (1.0%) have no gross stereopsis using Titmus fly test. Fine stereopsis among studied group ranged from 0-9 (800-40 sec of arc) which was the ability to define the circles in titmus test but with mean of 7.29 6 2.33(i.e. mean stereopsis was 60 sec of arc). Anisometropia was found in 32/304 (10.5%) of total population and 32/169 (18.9%) of total number students with refractive errors, 10 students were males and 22 students were females. Myopia was the commonest refractive error (51.90%). Conclusion: Normal vision is integral to an individual understanding of his visual world, and those with visual defects can experience difficulties in everyday life. From these visual impairment problems are refractive errors, and abnormal binocular vision which if left uncorrected can affect performance of medical students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
