| Abstract: | Dentistry is a visually demanding profession, yet often overlooked particularly by dental professionals. Dentists rely on their visual acuity and dexterity to perform intricate dental procedures, diagnose oral conditions, and ensure patient safety. Practicing dentists can experience various eye defects or conditions like myopia, hypermetropia, presbyopia, etc. that can significantly impact their work and overall, well-being. Impaired vision can lead to errors and complications during procedure. AIM: This study aims at the importance of eyecare and its impact on regular clinical outcomes in Pune, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A qualitative investigation was conducted among 200 practicing dentists in Pune. A questionnaire was circulated among them related to knowledge and perception of eye care practices and its relationship with dental practice. Data was collected and statistical analysis was performed using Statistical product and Service solution (SPSS) version 21 for Windows. The Chi square test was performed for calculation of chi square and p value. RESULTS: 200 responses were collected with most of them being general dentists (41%). Many of them were suffering from eye strain (72.5%) followed by dry eyes (53.5%). Eye related symptoms experienced by them were mostly itching (68%) and watery eyes (67%). About 37.9% were experiencing these problems in the last 1 year or more. Most of them suffered from this while performing root canal procedure (59.5%). Almost 46% of the practicing dentist were somewhat concerned about the possibility of developing eye defect due to dental practice. To prevent eye defects, 78.5% were using protective eye wear and 70% were using face shields. CONCLUSION: In this study, it can be concluded that based on the perception and attitude of the practicing dentists towards eye care, awareness related to eye care practices is not only essential for their well-being but also the safety and quality of care they provide to their patients. |
