As a medical student, encountering a patient with an eye complaint can be a very daunting task! Having a foundational understanding of the anatomy of the eye is a prerequisite for confidently developing an accurate differential diagnosis, carrying out appropriate investigations, and addressing patient needs.

Pediatric ophthalmology is the study of little eyeballs! Or more technically, it is a sub-specialty of ophthalmology that is concerned with eye diseases, visual development, and vision care in children. This can be a challenging endeavour considering many children are unable to communicate their symptoms or answer medical questions. However, learning to examine and treat children in a way that makes them relaxed and cooperative can be very rewarding!
Get StartedUveitis is defined as the inflammation of the structures of the uvea, occurring from both infectious and non-infectious causes. It is characterized by symptoms such as pain, redness, photophobia, and blurry vision.

The module will also tackle introductory retina examination, compare direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes, discuss tips on mastering fundus examination, and describe ancillary testing like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus photography.
