AIM: This study aims to determine the prevalence of refractive errors among medical students in Jordan.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Cross-sectional model through an online questionnaire was conducted. The questionnaire was distributed randomly to 700 medical students.
RESULTS: Females participated more than males. It was revealed that 525 (75%) of the total students were found to have a refractive error. Myopia was the most common type. About 79.0% of students have a positive family history of refractive errors which was more significant in students with refractive errors. Spectacles were the most common used method of treatment.
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of refractive errors was high among medical students in Jordan. A positive family history was associated with students having refractive errors.
