"Recently started ICO online course module on Glaucoma designed by Docmode. Unique format for an online course with didactic videos by renowned glaucoma faculty. The real time transcript that runs parallel to the videos enables not to miss out on important points and the mock tests at end of each section is a good self evaluation tool. Courses are comfortably paced and centered to drive home basics of the disease by illustrations, animations and easy to remember mind maps. Would soon complete the POAG module. Can't wait on to move onto the next course."
