5FOREWORD
It is indeed very satisfying to write the foreword for a very different kind of book, one on how to succeed in ophthalmology oral and practical examination. The book is well illustrated for understanding basics of ophthalmology. It almost covers all probable questions along with answers which are usually asked in MBBS examination.
So my hat is off to authors Dr Jyotirmoy and Dr Chandana, for doing such a nice job.

6PREFACE
We are excited to bring you the First Edition of the ‘Sure Success in Ophthalmology Viva Voce & Practical Examination’. We realized the need for this book while conducting Final MBBS Part 1 Examination. The book is primarily meant to help the undergraduate students to face the oral and practical examination of ophthalmology. The book will be helpful also for postgraduates and PG entrance examinee. Optometry students will be benefitted if they go through a few chapters of the book.
Each chapter is devoted to a system of the eye in brief in question answer form, relevant long and short cases and surgery related to the chapter. We have included a list of instruments and relevant viva questions. A few questions have been intentionally repeated to emphasize their importance.
A miscellaneous chapter has been included which consists of some important tables and charts for quick revision.
The book is amply illustrated by photographs, line diagrams, and flow charts.
Inspite of our best efforts, the book may have some inaccuracies; feedback from teachers, students will be most welcome to improve the book.
We hope you will enjoy reading the book before going to face the examiner.
Jyotirmoy Datta
Chandana Chakraborti
