Likely to get 4 marks from this.
Bit of eponymous stuff and lots from cataract. But interesting to read and remember.
Question Pattern
Basically every line from the Chapter on Lens in Parson can be a source of question.
Completely read Parson – Lens, and run through Kanski, plus MCQs.
Should be a reasonable yield.
