This comprehensive review is designed to help you pass your written exams and to update your clinical knowledge base; it is especially useful to Ophthalmology residents taking their WQE as well as practicing physicians preparing to take the cognitive DOCK exam or to complete the Quarterly Question Module in lieu of the DOCK Core Knowledge Module. The course includes didactic lectures with embedded review questions. Emphasis is on evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts and testing strategies including an extensive review of optics and refraction, ophthalmic imaging, and newer approaches to ophthalmic surgery. As a result, it provides a good review for physicians in practice wanting a thorough update
