MCQs for FRCOphth Part 2 is a key resource for candidates preparing to sit the Royal College of Ophthalmologists examination. Written by experts in the field, it is carefully mapped to the RCOphth curriculum, providing comprehensive preparation for all aspects of this challenging exam.

Written for the new FRCOphth format, it contains 360 questions organised into five sections to reflect the subdivisions of the exam. A mock examination of 90 questions enables trainees to assess their level of knowledge, and practise the technique and approach needed for the examination.

In addition to a small ratio of illustration based questions to reflect the real FRCOphth exam it also places an emphasis on areas that are not well covered in other materials, such as GMC and RCOphth guidelines. All answers are accompanied by detailed explanations and relevant further reading sources, providing candidates with high-quality self-assessment.

Offering a true test of the reader's opthalmology knowledge, this is a must-buy for anyone preparing for the FRCOphth part 2 written exam.
