Why Ophthalmonics?





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!
