MCQs for FRCOphth Part 2 is a key resource for candidates preparing to sit the Royal College of Ophthalmologists examination. Written by experts in the field, it is carefully mapped to the RCOphth curriculum, providing comprehensive preparation for all aspects of this challenging exam. Written for the new FRCOphth format, it contains 360 questions organised into five sections to reflect the subdivisions of the exam. A mock examination of 90 questions enables trainees to assess their level of knowledge, and practise the technique and approach needed for the examination. In addition to a small ratio of illustration based questions to reflect the real FRCOphth exam it also places an emphasis on areas that are not well covered in other materials, such as GMC and RCOphth guidelines. All answers are accompanied by detailed explanations and relevant further reading sources, providing candidates with high-quality self-assessment. Offering a true test of the reader's ophthalmology knowledge, this is a must-buy for anyone preparing for the FRCOphth part 2 written exam.

An indispensable and fully comprehensive textbook, this covers the basic sciences in ophthalmology and is the only book you need to pass the FRCOphth Part 1 exam.

The Eye: Basic Sciences in Practice provides highly accessible, concise coverage of all the essential basic science required by today's ophthalmologists and optometrists in training. It is also essential reading for those embarking on a career in visual and ophthalmic science, as well as an invaluable, current refresher for the range of practitioners working in this area. This new fourth edition has now been fully revised and updated in line with current curricula, key research developments and clinical best practice. It succinctly incorporates the massive strides being made by genetics and functional genomics based on the Human Genome Project, the new understanding of how the microbiome affects all aspects of immunology, the remarkable progress in imaging technology now applied to anatomy and neurophysiology, as well as exciting new molecular and other diagnostic methodologies now being used in microbiology and pathology. All this and more collectively brings a wealth of new knowledge to students and practitioners in the fields of ophthalmology and visual science. For the first time, this (print) edition also now comes with bonus access to the complete, fully searchable electronic text - including carefully selected additional information and new video content to further explain and expand on key concepts - making The Eye a more flexible, comprehensive and engaging learning package than ever before.
