The question bank

FRCOphth Part 1

New to FRCOphth Part 1?

Start with the complete guide to the syllabus, exam format, pass rates and a study plan, then practise with syllabus-mapped questions.

Never just “the answer is B.”

Ask why you got it wrong and the tutor explains your reasoning back to you, citing the exact source it drew from and never inventing one.

The cotton-wool spots threw me toward an ischaemic optic cause. Useful reminder they’re non-specific.
