-fairly straightforward.some weird ones as usual.

1) FFA of BRVO-pples,which eye,description

2) Ray diagram of indirect

3) AC/A  ratio by gradient method.

4)MRI-very bad photostat(i wrote ct)of pituitary lesion

5) Simple transposition question

6)U/S of optic disc drusen

7) Hess chart with restriction in several directions.muscles affected asked,no diagnosis asked

2) VF-hom.supr temp quadranatanopia.questions about visual pathway,red pin.

3) Direct-background diabetic retinopathy.filters and watzke allen sign.used own scope

4) Indirect-RP.asked about magnification and d/d and scleral indentation,advantages.used own lens. 

5) Pupil-rapd.questions on which lesion can cause rapd and 6th n palsy(patient had 6th nerve also).said orbit.dont know if correct.asked pharmac tests for horners.

6) Ocular motility-rt hyper.did parks 3 step and then motility.diplopia in elevation to left.left eye defective elevation was pathology.offered d/d of thyroid and blow out.

7) Keratometry-javal schiotz.very nice examiners,showed all the dials first.usual questions

On the whole,very helpful examiners,showed where to switch on and take readings instead of watching while we struggle!!

Refraction-

63 year old lady,no relevant history but only 6/9with pinhole both eyes.Horrible snellen box chart not clear at all,duochrome red clearer even for me cos the green wasnt bright enough.pointed out same to examiners.asked not to bother with duochrome.After ret,6/12 came to 6/9 with subj,nothing further.Did +1 blur and near add.Asked to write down prescr before maddox rod(5 mts to go)+.75 with _.5 cyl both eyes.2.25 add.then did maddox rod. lots of questions on prism cover test,maddox rod and BVD and effectivity of lens.
