Refractive surgery is one of the rapidly evolving subspecialties in ophthalmology. New technologies, devices, techniques, and parameters are being developed daily, making it challenging for both experienced refractive surgeons and beginners to keep up. While numerous resources for refractive surgery teaching exist in the form of videos and textbooks, the availability of sources that present information in a question-solving manner is limited. Our book aims to fill this gap, providing a unique and valuable resource for refractive surgery education. In this first edition of the book, we present the latest updates in the field of refractive surgery using MCQs. This method of education is very efficient in highlighting the information and making it easier and more practical to memorise. Moreover, this method allows us to keep updating the MCQs and add more in the future to cover any new emerging concepts. The 200 MCQs are presented in a self-assessment manner. The questions are presented without their answers, and the answers, with explanations and some discussion, are presented at the end of the book. ...
A solid foundation built on reliable resources is essential to practicing successful refractive surgery. One effective method to consolidate knowledge in this field is through self-assessment using multiple choice questions (MCQs). Prior to the release of this book, locating refractive surgery MCQs was a daunting challenge. ÔøΩ This book is the first resource offering MCQs specifically designed to prepare for refractive surgery examinations. ÔøΩ The book offers a comprehensive overview of various topics, including preoperative candidate assessment, laser-based refractive surgery, lens-based refractive surgery, complications of refractive surgery, and ethical principles related to good medical practice in this field. ÔøΩ We believe this book constitutes a paradigm shift in this field by highlighting important practical points. ÔøΩ It also serves as the foundation for a future question bank.
