What is the ophthalmology training pathway in the UK?
Ophthalmology Specialty Training (OST) runs from ST1–ST7. Entry is at ST1, directly after Foundation training. Trainees progress through general ophthalmology before subspecialising in areas like medical retina, glaucoma, paediatric ophthalmology, or oculoplastics.
What exams do ophthalmology trainees need to pass?
The FRCOphth (Fellowship of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists) has multiple parts: Part 1 (MCQ covering optics, anatomy, and basic sciences), Part 2 Written, and Part 2 Oral/Clinical. These are taken at different stages through training.
How competitive is ophthalmology training?
Ophthalmology is one of the most competitive specialties in the UK. The 2025 ST1 competition ratio was 21.54:1. A strong portfolio including ophthalmic research, audit, publications, and relevant taster experience is essential.
What courses are useful for ophthalmology trainees?
Key courses include FRCOphth revision courses, microsurgery skills courses, phacoemulsification wet lab training, ophthalmic imaging interpretation courses, and subspecialty update courses. Duke-Elder exam revision resources are also valuable for early-stage trainees.
