Responses were collected, which were analyzed using IBM SPSS software version 28.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: In our study, 372 responses were analyzed, and among respondents (71%) were females. Most residents had good knowledge (74.2%) and a positive attitude (91.9%) whereas only 64.5% had a good practice. The poor practice was attributed to barriers like lack of guidance (56.7%), lack of orientation (55%), and lack of time (48.3%). Among the participants, only 43.5% had been part of a research work other than a mandatory dissertation and publication. The practice levels are significantly good in respondents with good knowledge (p=<0.001). Residents who had taken part in research activity in their MBBS course have been considered part of the research work (p <0.001).<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: In our study, we found that ophthalmology residents had good knowledge and attitude towards research methodology but they were unsuccessful in transforming their good knowledge and positive attitude into a good practice because of barriers like lack of guidance, orientation, and time. There is a necessity to encourage Ophthalmology residents to carry out research by providing proper guidance, funds, conducting more workshops, and including research methodology sessions in all ophthalmic conferences.</span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Curriculum, Knowledge, Ophthalmology, Research, Residents. 30 37 http://edujournal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-12-1943-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mahesh Babu maheshbabu.oph@gmail.com 5300319475328460023583 5300319475328460023583 Yes KVG Medical College and Hospital Suneel Shaik shaiksuneel21@gmail.com 5300319475328460023584 5300319475328460023584 No KVG Medical College and Hospital Abhilash B abhilashgowda139@gmail.com 5300319475328460023585 5300319475328460023585 No KVG Medical College and Hospital Bhavya H U bhavyahu.obg@gmail.com 5300319475328460023586 5300319475328460023586 No KVG Medical College and Hospital
