This book from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. N. Venkatesh Prajna, DNB FRCOphth, Director–Academics at Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, covering ophthalmology (नेत्र विज्ञान). It is a compilation of frequently asked questions with answers, assembled to prepare students for postgraduate ophthalmology examinations, and it comes out of one of the most respected eye care institutions in the country.
The premise is precise. A postgraduate candidate does not fail for want of textbooks; they fail because they cannot predict what will be asked or produce an answer of the right shape in the time available. This book works backwards from the question — the questions that recur in MS, DNB and DO examinations, answered at the length and in the structure an examiner expects. Coverage spans the specialty: cornea and ocular surface, glaucoma diagnosis and medical and surgical management, retina, paediatric ophthalmology, ocular surgery including cataract, refractive and retinal surgery, ophthalmic emergencies such as trauma and sudden vision loss, ocular pathology and the pathogenesis of common conditions, and community ophthalmology and eye care programmes as they operate in India — the last being a distinctly Aravind contribution and one that other question books tend to skip.
This third edition has been fully revised and now runs to more than 1200 pages, with a section on instruments used in ophthalmology included for the practical and viva. Its case-based orientation, drawn from real clinical scenarios, is what makes it usable beyond examination preparation: practitioners keep it as a reference for the situations that come up in clinic. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
