Every candidate gets placed in the Hot Seat and works through an unseen case. The emphasis is on clinical reasoning, prioritisation, safe management and delivering a clear answer under viva conditions.

01

Unseen case

You are given a neuro-ophthalmology scenario without knowing the diagnosis in advance.

02

Viva questioning

Work through localisation, differential diagnosis, investigations and management in real time.

03

Immediate feedback

Receive targeted feedback on knowledge, reasoning, structure and exam technique.

LC
Your tutor

Consultant-led, clinically grounded.

The session is taught by a UK consultant neuro-ophthalmologist with FRCOphth and extensive experience in neuro-ophthalmology, strabismus and postgraduate ophthalmic teaching.

The aim is not simply to tell you whether an answer is correct. It is to help you structure your thinking, prioritise the important points and communicate your answer effectively in an oral examination.

Luna Clinical is an independent educational project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.
