Objective: To assess the prevalence, risk factors and quality of floaters among medical students and to evaluate the association of floaters with related variables. Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among 331 students belonging to the medical stream. A semi-structured google form questionnaire was used as the study tool. It was designed to assess the factors associated with the prevalence of floaters. The obtained responses were inspected using appropriate statistical tests. Results: Among 331 medical students, 37.76%(n=125) reported visualizing floaters. The presence of floaters was significantly associated with frequent rubbing of eyes (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05, odds ratio:5.23), myopia (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05, odds ratio: 1.87), and emmetropia (p__ampersandsignlt;0.05, odds ratio: 0.47). Factors like age, gender, playing sports and going to the gym were not significantly associated with the presence of floaters. 80%(n=100) of the students reported seeing floaters during the daytime. About 8%(n=10) of the study population were willing to be treated for floaters whereas 83.2%(n=104) were not interested in getting treated. Conclusion: The presence of floaters is quite common among medical students. Myopia and frequent rubbing of the eyes are possible risk factors. Most of the students who had floaters were not interested in getting any form of treatment.
