Refraction and Focimetry Tuition for Ophthalmologists
Rapid Refraction specialise in FRCOphth Refraction Certificate courses for doctors and doctors in training. Our approach is small-group tuition (max 6 candidates per course, and 3 per session) with a focus on ‘hands-on’ experience, rather than lengthy lectures. Led by our team of experienced ophthalmologists and optometrists, you can expect courses made up of a mix of structured workshops and unstructured ‘free time’ to practice the skills learnt on the course with expert advice available. All of our courses also include a comprehensive booklet, breaking each skill into a simple step-by-step guide with a focus on the format of the FRCOphth examination.
