The structure of the curriculum will give you the knowledge required to undertake an ophthalmologist survey/eye examination, treatment including surgical treatment.
As part of the Opthalmology course, students will learn about anatomy of eye, diseases of the eye, diagnostic investigations, and surgical procedures. Students will undergo clinical training which would include cataract eye surgery, recognize retinal diseases, while also learning to use instrumental (advanced) equipment for eye care.
Clinical training with patients - practical skills with patients gave the students /candidates the experiences and training to study diagnosis and treatment in real-time.

The following is a more difficult topic in ophthalmology because of their complex, precise nature:

• Neuro-Ophthalmology: This area includes neurology and eye physiology making this topic somewhat "complex", as one must understand how the nerve pathway functions exactly.

• Retina and Vitreous Disorders: This field is incredibly technical and detail-oriented, especially when looking at the surgical aspect. 

• Optics and Refraction: This area contains physics concepts and their clinical applications, which students can find more difficult. 

• Pharmacology in Eye Care: Students must memorize many drug and drug actions, which are specific to the eye.

Ophthalmology is vast, but you can study smart with the right techniques:

• Use Visual Aids: Diagrams, surgical videos, and fundus images help retention.

• Make Clinical Correlations: Link theory with patient cases or internship experience.

• Revise Frequently: Repetition is key for remembering technical details.

• Join Peer Groups: Group discussions reinforce knowledge and fill gaps.
