Abstract

Optometry practice is an essential aspect of health care system, that examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases and disorders of the visual system and related systemic conditions. It requires specialty training to provide quality healthcare for people with visual disorders. This study assessed the level of awareness, knowledge and perception of the Career prospects among optometry students in Nigeria. A total of 437 respondents participated in this study comprising of 254 (58.1%) females and 183 (41.9%) males and their mean age was 23.4±2.2. Two hundred and forty-seven (247) representing (56.52%) of the study population, had good level of awareness and 330 (75.51%) had good level of knowledge of the career prospects in optometry. In conclusion, there is a low level of good awareness and high level of good knowledge of the career prospects in optometry among optometry students in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study was carried out to compare keratometric and subjective astigmatic corrections. The method involved the examination of one hundred (100) subjects aged between 16 – 35 years with mean age of 22.74±4.55. The sample population comprised of fifty (50) males and fifty (50) females who were all Astigmats and had no history of any systemic/ocular pathologies and ocular surgery. The subjective correction was determined with static retinoscopic and subjective refractive techniques using the Jackson cross cylinder (JCC). The keratometric measurement was done with the Bausch and Laumb (B&L) keratometer. The result obtained revealed that the observed mean Astigmatic reading with the B&L keratometer was -0.858±0.629 while that of subjective was -1.20±0.79, and there was a significant difference between the two methods (subjective and keratometric) using the paired t – test (t = 5.787, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between keratometric or subjective readings (p>0.05) which implied that either of these two methods could be used to estimate patients astigmatic correction.
