Opinions on the importance of knowledge topics and clinical skills to be included in the undergraduate curriculum vary. This is reflected in the large box plots in Figures 1 and 2. Previous studies agree that red eye, glaucoma, squint, visual failure, and the eye in systemic disease should be included.2,21,24-26 However, in the study by Spivey in 1971, the eye in systemic disease was not included.20 Clinical skills have also been ranked in previous studies.26 Visual acuity ranked the highest followed by pupillary reflexes, ophthalmoscopy and visual field testing, whilst intraocular pressure assessment was considered to be the least important skill.21 These results, very closely reflect the opinions of the respondents from this current study.
