Ophthalmology is the one branch of medicine where I think
many short-forms are routinely used. And thus this is one addition to it you
may say. Also many tricks here are not simple mnemonic but you have to SEE the
word in different way to find it as a mnemonic and thus again its not just
mnemonic but its ophthalmonic..!!
This
manual is collection of the mnemonics I made, found in books or internet when
studying for the Final MD exam and Senior Residency Entrance Exam in
ophthalmology. Till last few months of exam, I believed that I will understand
and remember all important facts and will hardly need specially devised
mnemonics for it. As exam fever comes nearer, all things started to evaporate.
I
do not pretend that this manual will cause a lot improvement in your
preparation, despite that, I am proud of what I have produced and hope you will
find it a useful memory aid and help to increase your confidence in memorizing
some confusing but important facts!
Many
of these may be just simple fundamentals, but during your exams or MCQ test,
there may not be time to recollect your basics and you may give wrong answer. I
hope this manual of mnemonics may help to reduce your evaporation.
I
hope it may help you to seal or laser your breaks of knowledge.
Good luck!
