Inside this resource
Optics, Refraction, and Cataract
Dedicated optics Q&A sessions with Kristina Irsch and Andrew Hou cover refractive principles and problem-solving approaches. Mavis Gappy addresses ocular surface and cataract topics, while Bryan Zarrin covers corneal surgery. The curriculum emphasizes practical application of optical concepts to clinical scenarios.
Glaucoma, Retina, and Uveitis
David Fleischman delivers a three-part glaucoma series, Deep Parikh covers diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular disease, and Peter Tang addresses macular degeneration and inherited chorioretinal diseases. Anjum Koreishi’s uveitis sessions round out the posterior segment review.
Neuro-Ophthalmology and Oculoplastics
Howard Pomeranz covers optic neuropathies, temporal arteritis, pupillomotor pathways, visual fields, and cranial neuropathies. David Yoo addresses eyelid anatomy, orbital trauma, inflammation, tumors, and lacrimal disease — providing a thorough neuro-ophthalmic and orbital review.
Pediatric Ophthalmology and Pharmacology
Shawn Gappy teaches pediatric strabismus across three sessions, Bharti Gangwani covers non-strabismus pediatric conditions, and Michael Jensen delivers a four-part ocular pharmacology series. Paras Khandhar concludes the faculty lineup with instruction on applying research evidence to everyday ophthalmic practice and implementing quality improvement.
Who this serves
- Ophthalmology residents — preparing for the WQE written examination
- Practicing ophthalmologists — completing the Quarterly Question Module or seeking a comprehensive clinical update
- Clinicians transitioning to ophthalmology — needing a structured review of the full subspecialty spectrum

Strong faculty lineup and well-organized content. The glaucoma and retina sections were particularly current. Would have appreciated more pathology depth.
James L. –
Comprehensive board review with strong faculty. The optics Q&A sessions with Kristina Irsch were especially helpful for the WQE. The cloud streaming worked smoothly.
Sarah K. –
Good coverage across all subspecialties. Howard Pomeranz’s neuro-ophthalmology lectures are detailed and clinically focused. The downloadable syllabus is a nice bonus for offline review.
Chen W. –
Exactly what I needed for WQE prep. The embedded review questions in the lectures kept me engaged. 57 hours is a significant time investment but worth it.
M. Alvarez –
Good overall review but some lectures felt repetitive if you’ve taken similar courses. The pharmacology section by Michael Jensen was a highlight.
