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

Every branch of Medicine has its own set of challenges. Here are a few you should prepare for:

Ophthalmology is regarded as difficult due to the complex anatomy, microsurgical procedures, and advanced diagnostic equipment involved. 
It requires detail, lifelong learning and exercise clinical judgment to manage delicate conditions of the eye.

Courses related to Ophthalmology after 12th without NEET are BSc Ophthalmic Technology and Diploma in Ophthalmic Assistant. They are Paramedical courses related to eye testing, optical instruments, and supporting patients under the supervision of an ophthalmologist. 

They do not involve NEET, and they suit students interested in technical roles, other than a doctor or a surgeon, in the field of eye care.
