RPC Rounds

Hello Dear Fellow & Colleagues,

During my residency at "Dr. R.P. Center of Ophthalmic Sciences (RPCOS), AIIMS, New Delhi", I started this blog to discuss & share the knowledge with resident friends and help each other to perform better. Initially I hosted it on rpcround.wordpress.com, and now I have shifted it to here on my clinic's personal website.

Content in most of the posts is taken from books or the internet from valid references — you can believe in it. I do not want to break any copyright; if you feel any post is infringing your copyright, just leave a comment or mail me at [email protected] and I will remove it.

Interested JRs who also want to update this blog with their wisdom, please mail me at the above address, and I shall invite you as a co-author of the blog.
