First of all, I wanted to thank the great and responsive examination team of the International Ophthalmology Foundation. I was supposed to take the optics and visual science exams in Iran; however, due to the war and internet restrictions, I was unable to. I shared my issue with the examination team, and they quickly resolved it by contacting the examination center in Turkey, without any stress or pressure on me. The exam also took place in a comfortable place with kind administrators. The exams were also so comprehensive and clinically relevant in both optics and visual science sections. There were no excessive questions based solely on memorization, without any clinical use. In addition, I really enjoyed the fast marking and results processes. In my opinion, passing the IFO exams might play a significant role in ophthalmologists’ professional CVs as an indicator of an internationally recognized level of ophthalmology knowledge.
