Optics, Refraction and Instruments

A step-by-step approach to teach basics of optics and refraction and problem solving of complex questions and scenarios. The course also includes theoretical optics and refraction, advice on exam techniques and instruments, plus live Q&A sessions. This will help one in solving MCQs of Optics coming in exams like FICO, FRCS. It will also give one confidence to perform retinoscopy and aid in Viva questions in FINAL Post graduation exam.
