Case format History -> exam -> image findings -> differential -> management
Clinical cases Practice diagnostic reasoning with visual prompts.
Surgical skills Review core concepts before the OR or wet lab.
Ophtho essentials Study anatomy, pathology, imaging, and exam pearls.

Built for how trainees learn

Structured resources that move from recognition to reasoning.

EyeSpy keeps the site focused on practical ophthalmology education: short clinical setups, visual clues, clear teaching points, and links to deeper review when learners are ready.

Featured case workflow

A repeatable way to practice ophthalmic reasoning.

Each case is designed to help learners slow down, notice key findings, and connect bedside observations to differential diagnosis and management.

Open the case study library
  1. Start with the story.Age, symptoms, timeline, and risk factors.
  2. Read the eye exam.Visual acuity, pupils, pressure, motility, slit lamp, and fundus.
  3. Interpret the image.Identify the decisive findings and misleading distractors.
  4. Commit to a plan.Differential, next test, treatment, and follow-up.
