Station 1
CT Head - Axial scan, asked to label the
different bones, principle of CT, abnormalities present (what did people think
of this one, gotta be honest and say I couldn't see any!)

Station 4
Lung Pathology w/ ABG result - What is the
acid/base balance, how did it occur, why is the pO2 and pCO2 low, picture of a
lung (thought it was necrosis but dont know, any takers?), how did it occur on
a pathological level?
Station 5

were, 3 disadvantages of logmar, 1 disadvantage of snellen, how you measure VA
with each, maybe another subquestion?
Station 8
66/78D lens - image formed, what do you use
them for, if you used a 66D instead of a 78D how would the image change in
size/field of view, name 2 other instruments to see the same part of the eye
and principles of image formed with those instruments
Station 9
VF/HRT - were they reliable or not, what is
total and pattern deviation, compare to HRT and say if the patient had
glaucoma (I thought RE no and LE possibly early inferior change but unreliable
VF, any views?)
Station 10
Duochrome test picture - what it was, ray
diagram of principle, what would a mildly uncorrected myopic pt see more

blind pt.
Station 11
IOL Master report of a pt with b/l cataract who
uses computer a lot - How much corneal astigmatism in RE, type of myopia in LE
(thought it was index), which formula would you use (I chose srk-t as AL>26 in
BE), which lens would you pick for RE and LE and why (I thought this question
was very subjective... not happy!)
Station 12

can you see in an FFA, what did that FFA show (ischaemic crvo).
