OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the importance of eyesight among dentists and dental students, their awareness of their own vision status and their eye care practices in the context of their professional work. METHODS: A digital questionnaire was used to explore patient demographics, vision status, correction methods, time since the last eye examination and the use of magnification loupes. Loupes were more commonly used by dentists (24.1%), and 42.1% of loupe users maintained an upright posture. CONCLUSION: A substantial number of dentists lacked awareness of the significance of eye care and its impact on their professional work. The study also revealed a significant relationship between age and refractive error type.
