<p>Welcome to the FRCOphth Part 1 Study Notes from Eye Notes! These chapters cover all the clinical
  science you will need to prepare for the FRCOphth Part 1 exam.</p>

<h2 id="whats-included">What's Included?</h2>

<p>These notes represent several years of work in seeking out high-yield topics and distilling the
  curriculum down into easily readable chapters.</p>

<p>We’ve highlighted key concepts and clinical correlates to show how the basic science translates
  into clinical practice. They will appear in coloured boxes throughout the notes.</p>
