According to the owner, this website was "Originally Created to aid revision for the Royal College Ophthalmology Oral and Written Exams, this site can also be used to revise for the American Board of Ophthalmology Oral and Written Exams as well as for the annual OKAP Exams".But its very disheartening to see that such a informative website is not maintained properly.Wish the owner (Mr.Mounir Bashour) will pay some attention to upgrade the website regularly!!The website contains mnemonics,lecture notes,oral questions of the examinations,tips and tricks for the examinees- a must for ophthalmologist students!!
