<h3>WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE?</h3>
Pharmacology questions often turn on a small but important distinction: a receptor, an outflow pathway, a contraindication or a characteristic adverse effect.
This course places the notes and practice questions together, helping you connect those details rather than memorise isolated drug names. Study a topic, attempt its MCQs, check your answers and revisit the concepts that need another look.
Use it for structured study during residency, focused preparation for your next examination or a final revision of ocular pharmacology.

Ocular Pharmacology V2 — Exam-Ready Notes & 400 MCQs | OPHTHA MCQ

Preparing for FAICO 2026? Stop depending on scattered recalls, screenshots, random PDFs and disconnected notes.
FAICO is a subspecialty examination that can test far more than simple factual recall. The pattern can move between theory, clinical reasoning, image based questions, investigations, surgical concepts, instruments, recent advances, landmark trials, OSCE stations and viva within the same preparation cycle.
That is exactly why OPHTHA MCQ has built a dedicated FAICO preparation ecosystem covering the major subspecialties:
✓ Cataract and Phacoemulsification 
✓ Cornea and Ocular Surface 
✓ Glaucoma 
✓ Retina and Vitreoretinal Surgery 
✓ Uveitis and Uvea 
✓ Refractive Surgery 
✓ Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus 
✓ Oculoplasty and Orbit 
✓ Neuro Ophthalmology
The FAICO recall books help you understand WHAT HAS BEEN ASKED.
But recalls alone are not enough.
One recalled question may generate several related questions in the actual examination. A recalled OCT can become an image interpretation station. A recalled drug can become mechanism, indication, adverse effect or trial based MCQs. A recalled surgery can become instrument identification, complication management or viva.
That is why the real preparation starts after the recall.
🔥 FAICO MCQ COURSE ON OPHTHA MCQ APP
The FAICO MCQ Course is built specifically around the examination pattern and expands past recalls into complete exam focused preparation.
You get:
✓ Past FAICO recalls 
✓ Recall based MCQs 
✓ High yield related topics 
✓ Clinical scenario based questions 
✓ Image based MCQs 
✓ Important numerical values 
✓ Landmark trials 
✓ Newer drugs and recent advances 
✓ Surgical concepts 
✓ Investigation based questions 
✓ Subspecialty wise revision 
✓ Exam focused explanations
We do not stop at teaching one remembered answer.
If a Retina recall asks Faricimab, you prepare the related anti VEGF concepts.
If Glaucoma recalls a drainage device, you prepare device identification, mechanism, indications, complications and comparisons.
If Cataract recalls biometry, you prepare formulas, optical biometry, keratometry, IOL selection and clinical application.
If Uveitis recalls PVRL, you prepare the masquerade pattern, imaging, investigations and diagnostic approach.
If Cornea recalls Pentacam, you prepare the entire interpretation framework.
That is the difference between COLLECTING FAICO RECALLS and actually PREPARING FOR FAICO.
🔥 FAICO OSCE COURSE ON OPHTHA MCQ APP
FAICO preparation does not end with MCQs.
Can you identify the image when there are no options?
Can you interpret OCT, visual fields, Pentacam, fundus photographs, FFA, ICGA, UBM or orbital imaging?
Can you identify instruments, implants, surgical materials and pathology slides?
Can you answer the next management question immediately after making the diagnosis?
Can you handle a rapid viva?
The FAICO OSCE Course on OPHTHA MCQ is built to train exactly this part of the examination.
✓ Clinical images 
✓ Investigation interpretation 
✓ Instruments and spotters 
✓ Surgical scenarios 
✓ Pathology and microbiology images 
✓ Imaging based stations 
✓ Clinical decision making 
✓ Diagnosis and differentials 
✓ Management based questions 
✓ Viva oriented preparation 
✓ Subspecialty specific OSCE practice
The approach is simple:
IDENTIFY &rarr; DESCRIBE &rarr; INTERPRET &rarr; DIFFERENTIAL &rarr; INVESTIGATE &rarr; MANAGE &rarr; ANSWER THE VIVA.
That is how you need to think in a FAICO practical.
🔥 ONE PLATFORM. COMPLETE FAICO PREPARATION.
Instead of preparing from 20 different sources, build your preparation around one structured system:
FAICO RECALLS &rarr; Understand the past pattern
FAICO MCQ COURSE &rarr; Master the concepts around those recalls
FAICO OSCE COURSE &rarr; Learn to identify and interpret what the examiner can show you
FAICO VIVA PREPARATION &rarr; Learn to extend every diagnosis into a complete clinical answer

Start identifying images.
Start interpreting investigations.
Start revising important numbers and trials.
Start practicing the clinical extensions of every recall.
