| Summary: |
Purpose: To
estimate the frequency and dynamic changes in refractive
errors in population of students of medical (MF) and
dental (DF) faculties of Pommeranian Medical Academy in
Szczecin.
Material and methods: Medical records from
ophthalmic examinations performed in 176 medical
students (117 females and 59 males) during the 2nd and
4th course of studies were analyzed (2-years long
observation).
Results: Refractive error was found in 42% of MF
students and 39.5% of DF students on the 2nd course and
in 51% and 47% on the 4th course respectively. Myopia
was found in 75% of ametropic eyes. In 2 years
observation time, there was a statistically significant
progression of refracive error in 50% of myopic students
(from -2.9 ± 2.3 D to -3.4 ± 1.9D in MF and from -2.0 ±
1.5 to -2.4 ± 1.5D in DF). Myopia developed in 13% of
initially emmetropic students. |
