Q1 · Trachoma
NEET PGMediumExplanation
Trachoma is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis serotypes A to C, leading to conjunctival scarring, entropion, trichiasis, and eventually corneal blindness. The WHO SAFE strategy — Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial cleanliness, Environmental improvement — targets it.
Q2 · Corneal Ulcer
NEET PGMediumExplanation
A branching dendritic ulcer staining with fluorescein is characteristic of herpes simplex keratitis. Topical steroids are contraindicated as they worsen the infection; treatment is with topical or oral antivirals such as aciclovir.
Q3 · Ophthalmia Neonatorum
HardExplanation
Gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum presents within the first 1 to 2 days with hyperacute copious purulent discharge and can rapidly perforate the cornea. It is a medical emergency needing systemic antibiotics. Chlamydial conjunctivitis presents later, at 5 to 14 days.
Q4 · Keratoconus
MediumExplanation
Keratoconus is progressive corneal thinning and conical protrusion causing irregular astigmatism and reduced vision. It shows Munson's sign and is associated with atopy and eye rubbing; treatment ranges from rigid contact lenses to corneal cross-linking or grafting.
Q5 · Pterygium
EasyExplanation
A pterygium is a wing-shaped fibrovascular conjunctival growth, most commonly encroaching from the nasal side onto the cornea. It is linked to ultraviolet and sunlight exposure; surgery is indicated if it threatens the visual axis or causes symptoms.
Q6 · Vitamin A Deficiency
NEET PGEasyExplanation
Vitamin A deficiency causes xerophthalmia (dry eye), Bitot spots (foamy conjunctival patches), night blindness, and, if untreated, keratomalacia and blindness. It is a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness worldwide.
Q7 · Allergic Conjunctivitis
EasyExplanation
Allergic conjunctivitis presents with bilateral itching, watering, stringy mucoid discharge, and a papillary reaction, often seasonal. Itching is the hallmark. Treatment includes antihistamine and mast-cell stabiliser drops.
Q8 · Dry Eye
EasyExplanation
The Schirmer test measures aqueous tear production using a strip of filter paper in the lower fornix. Reduced wetting indicates dry eye. It is used, for example, in evaluating Sjogren syndrome.
Q9 · Chemical Injury
HardExplanation
Immediate, copious irrigation with water or saline is the priority in chemical eye injury, before anything else, to dilute and remove the chemical. Alkali burns penetrate deeper and are more dangerous than acid burns. Irrigation should not be delayed for assessment.
Cornea and Conjunctiva sits within Ophthalmology, which carries the same syllabus in both exams. This set runs to 9 questions, each tagged Easy, Medium or Hard, 2 of them at Hard, and 3 drawn from previous-year papers.
Answer first, then read the explanation even on the ones you got right — the reasoning is where Cornea and Conjunctiva marks are actually won, and it is what separates a recalled fact from a question you can solve in a new form. Once the Easy set feels comfortable, filter to Hard to find the gaps Ophthalmology examiners keep returning to.
