Abstract
AbstractThis paper covers the full range of core subjects tested in the FRCOphth Part 1 examination: optics, anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, genetics, investigations, and miscellaneous (biostatistics and evidence-based medicine). As well as ophthalmic subjects, this paper covers general physiology, general pathology, microbiology, biochemistry, and immunology. Several high-yield topics are covered. Basic iris anatomy is explained using an external eye photograph. Papilloedema is demonstrated on optical coherence tomography imaging of the optic nerve head. An ultra-widefield scanning laser ophthalmoscopy image of the retina is included, with key anatomical landmarks. T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is explained in a helpful comparative figure
