      ab: Background: This pilot study was designed to evaluate the learning efficacy in undergraduate optometry students of binocular vision evaluation techniques. Method: Twenty students from the third-year Bachelors of Optometry program were selected. They were introduced to binocular vision procedures for the first time in the curriculum. Three procedures were selected: cover test, near point of accommodation, and near point of convergence. Initially, theory lectures for the procedures were given, which were then followed by two practical hands-on sessions of 2 hours each. Students were asked to perform the procedures on subjects. A questionnaire was constructed and face validated. A score of 1 to 10 was given to students after examining 5 subjects, 10 subjects, 15 subjects, 20 subjects, and 25 subjects. Results: Data was analysed with Microsoft excel version 2016 and ANOVA testing was performed to determine variance. After performing the cover test on 25 subjects, students' scores ranged from 8 to 10, with a mean score of 9.56 ± 0.745. For near point of accommodation, the mean score of students after examining 25 subjects was 9.65 ± 0.745, with a range of 8 to 10. The mean score of twenty students performing near point of convergence after examining 25 subjects was 10. ANOVA testing showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the scores for the procedure. It was also found that, for all the three procedures, at least 70% was obtained by all students after examining 20 subjects. Conclusion: Statistically, there was no significant difference found between three groups. It can be concluded that practice on a minimum of 20 subjects is needed for students to learn the binocular vision evaluation techniques.
