It is indeed very satisfying to write the foreword for a very differentkind of book, one on how to succeed in ophthalmology oral andpractical examination. The book is well illustrated for unders-tanding basics of ophthalmology. It almost covers all probablequestions along with answers which are usually asked in MBBSexamination. -- Foreword.
This is a self-assessment book for candidates for postgraduate examinations in ophthalmology, principally the FRCOphth Part I. It covers all of the sciences fundamental to ophthalmology: anatomy (60 questions), physiology (93 questions), pharmacology (36), pathology (33) and microbiology (42). Questions are grouped according to specialty area, followed by true/false answers that are all supported with concise explanations. The book can therefore be used for learning as well as practice. The book's most innovative feature is the set of 21 structed essay plans, covering the major topics of concern in this field. It is notoriously difficult to provide model answers to essay questiosn, but here the authors have developed a new, highly visual approach with the consistent use of icons, to provide an at-a-glance understanding.
Since the last Edition of Ophthalmology Examinations Review, there has been major new discovery in the understanding of common eye diseases, and new treatments and diagnostic procedures have been refined or newly developed.A revised Edition reflecting these changes is warranted at this time. The aim and scope of the book will be consistent with the previous two editions in that it will provide a broad review for the final year ophthalmology resident and trainees taking the specialist ophthalmology examinations. The book deals primarily with key facts and topics that are important from an examination perspective. Only information and facts that are considered relevant and critical to the exams are covered, with topics that may be of scientific interest, but are not common to exams specifically left out. This book will help the resident organize and synthesize knowledge acquired from various other sources or textbooks. While not meant to replace standard textbooks, enough information is contained within the book to serve as the main revision text nearer the exams.The style and format of this book is intentionally didactic, with questions and short answers. The answer includes a 'model opening statement,' followed by a classification system to aid organization of facts and then by the bulk of the answer in concise short notes. Exam Tips are inserted to provide an insight into how to answer different types of questions and when appropriate, a Clinical Approach section is also included.In the new edition, topics such as new understanding of disease mechanisms, new investigations (e.g. OCT), and new procedures and treatment (e.g. use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factors, new refractive surgical techniques, new corneal transplant) are covered.
Over 200 color figures and concise, readable text guide students through the steps to perform a thorough and effective clinical examination and perform basic practical skills.
