Reduced stereoacuity impinges one's academic as well as professional performance. Hence in this study, we attempted to assess stereopsis among the medical student using the titmus fly test. Methods: This is a descriptive cross sectional study conducted among undergraduate medical students at Institute of Medicine. Titmus fly test was used to assess the sterepsis. Results: A total of 80 participants in our study among which 62.5% (50) were male and 37.5% (30) were female. The mean stereoacuity was 62.63±86.562 (range 40 - 800) sec of arc. 51.2% (41) of the study participant had normal stereopsis while only 5% (4) had reduced stereopsis (≥120 sec of arc). Conclusions: Routine screening of stereo acuity levels in medical students should be done. A future study could be conducted by utilizing a specific period of time of digital technology that can be continuously maintained in order to measure pre- and post-stereopsis.
