Ophthalmology LRR Notes

The document provides a comprehensive overview of ophthalmology, detailing the anatomy of the eyeball, embryological development, clinical aspects, and various investigations related to eye conditions. It covers visual pathways, light reflex pathways, and common ocular diseases, including cataracts and keratitis, along with their clinical implications. Additionally, it discusses refractive surgeries and conditions affecting the lens and orbit, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in preserving vision.
