Thirty questions on ophthalmic pathophysiology, drawn from the ten numbered instructional objectives. Covers the neurological anatomy of the eye and the three tunics, the physiology of vision, the molecular mechanisms behind the inflammatory “-itises” and the eyelid, corneal and lacrimal conditions, the refractive errors and the globe geometry that causes them, glaucoma and cataract, retinal detachment and macular degeneration, the diabetic retinopathy cascade, and visual field deficits by lesion site. Pathophysiology only — every question asks what is happening in the tissue and why, never what you would do about it. That line matters more than usual here: CMS I Exam 2 covers almost this exact condition list from the management side, so this is deliberately the other half. The 26 August recording is folded in, and it changes the emphasis. In the last two minutes the lecturer said “this is for the test” and named seven topics: cataracts, macular degeneration, the visual pathway, refraction errors, retinal detachment causes, glaucoma (specifically the pathophysiological explanation for the vision loss) and, added after he had already finished, presbyopia. Both of these quizzes cover all seven. He also cut scope out loud: of the visual-field lesion sites, know the optic nerve, the chiasm and the optic tract — the optic radiation and occipital cortex he deferred to neurology. And he de-emphasized which lens corrects which error, so no question asks it. Two figures in this deck disagree with each other on the normal intraocular pressure — slide 24 says 10–21 mmHg and slide 25 says about 6–19 — so nothing is graded on that value. Every question cites its slide.
