What cornea covers in Part 2
Work through infective and inflammatory keratitis, the corneal dystrophies and degenerations, ectasia and keratoconus, ocular surface disease and the dry eye spectrum, chemical injury, and the range of corneal transplantation from full-thickness to lamellar techniques. Recognising a clinical picture and choosing the right investigation and treatment is the core skill.
How the questions tend to test it
Cornea questions often present a history with a slit-lamp appearance and ask for the diagnosis or the next step. Know the microbiology of keratitis, the indications for each type of graft, and the management of graft rejection and ocular surface failure.
