The prevalence of myopia among students has reached epidemic proportions in east Asia. Indian data also suggests a high prevalence, especially in the southeast. We examined the trend locally, in 148 first MBBS students at a medical college in Pune, located in Maharashtra, a western state of India. We report a prevalence of 45% and compare it to that reported globally as well as from different regions of India. In the study population, we conclude, though myopia is quite prevalent, the east Asian trend of epidemic proportions is not yet evident. We emphasize timely institution of preventive measures to prevent an epidemic of myopia in India.
