Test Structure

  • Section A: 10 MCQs (1 mark each)
  • Section B: 6 Short Answer (3 marks each)
  • Section C: 2 Long Answer (5 marks each)

Preparation Tips

  • • Know all eye parts: cornea (70% refraction), lens (30%, adjustable), retina (rods/cones), optic nerve
  • • Understand accommodation: ciliary muscles change lens thickness for focus at different distances
  • • Learn vision defects: Myopia (concave correction), Hyperopia (convex correction), Astigmatism (cylindrical)
  • • Know power formula P = 1/f (f in metres). Positive P = convex, Negative P = concave
  • • Rayleigh scattering I ∝ 1/λ⁴: Blue scatters ~4x more than red → blue sky and red sunset
  • • Three cone types: S (blue 420nm), M (green 530nm), L (red 560nm) for trichromatic vision
  • • Visible spectrum VIBGYOR: 380-750 nm. Violet most refracted, Red least
  • • Practice power calculations for myopia/hyperopia corrections with given far/near points
