Tip # 01 Use Mnemonics: 
These are memory aids and can help you remember very complex information by associating it with something else. We do provide some cool mnemonics on our Youtube Channel.  

Tip # 02 Break Things Down: 
Trying to memorize all information all at once can be overwhelming instead break the information into smaller chunks. 

Tip # 03 Visualize Things: 
Visualizing information can make it easier to remember. You can use diagrams, drawings, and images to remember complex topics like glaucoma, etc. This is 
where Picmonic can come in handy. With Picmonic you can create visual associations. Sign up today and use our discount Code "medzukhruf" or click here to get 20%  off. 

Tip # 04 Repetition: 
Repetition is key when it comes to memorization. Review the information regularly and try to recall it from memory rather than just rereading it. This will help store information in your long-term memory. 

Tip # 05 Test Yourself: 
Using flashcards, Q-banks help you stick things permanently in your head. It will also help you find the areas where you need to focus more. 

So, there you have it our resources and tips for memorizing ophthalmology. Feel free to express your thoughts in the comments.
