Retina FAICO OSCE and Practical Course

Complete preparation for the FAICO Retina & Vitreous Practical and OSCE examination — built around the actual exam structure: approximately 9 OSCE stations (5 minutes each, covering short cases, photographs, imaging printouts, and instruments) followed by a Viva as the 10th station, per AIOS's official format.

This course covers:

1️⃣ Retina Instruments — identification, use, and viva points for instruments used at OSCE stations, including gonioscopes, +90D lenses, direct ophthalmoscopes, and imaging equipment.

2️⃣ Retina OSCE — station-format practice covering short cases, clinical photographs, and imaging printouts as tested in the actual exam (held at centers such as LVPEI for Retina & Vitreous candidates).

3️⃣ Retina Theory Notes — concise, exam-focused notes on retinal disease, diagnosis, and management for the written and viva components.

4️⃣ Microbiology Stations Notes — ocular microbiology as tested in OSCE spot stations, organized for quick recall.

5️⃣ Histology Notes — retina and posterior segment histology relevant to viva and theory questions.

6️⃣ Uvea OSCE — uveitis-related OSCE stations, since retina and uvea content frequently overlap in practical exams.

7️⃣ Retina Trials — landmark retina clinical trials, summarized for rapid exam recall.

8️⃣ Ocular Pharmacology — drug classes and mechanisms relevant to retina management and general pharmacology questions.

OphthaMCQ is the #1 FAICO prep application, with a 95% theory passing rate and 140+ students cleared this year alone — backed by the highest recall accuracy of any FAICO prep resource. This course is designed specifically by ophthalmologists who have themselves cleared the FAICO practical exam — not generic or AI-generated content.

Built for candidates preparing for the FAICO Retina & Vitreous Practical and OSCE, this course focuses on what is actually asked at the stations, not textbook-length theory.
