“Amazing summary of eye conditions, a must during pre-reg. It’s perfect to keep on the side in the test room and reference back to. This book is amazing and was so beneficial during my final year. I always refer back to it to get a second opinion when I'm unsure about a condition.”

I managed to get a last-minute one-to-one session with Tahiba, and I wish I had done it sooner to help with my theory exams.
It’s so helpful to speak with someone who has gone through the same process as me. She gave me a clear structure for management that I will now implement going forward for pre-reg.
Beyond that, it’s really valuable to have someone who is understanding and kind.
I would highly recommend one-to-one sessions with Tahiba. And there’s no doubt how valuable her book is it truly speaks for itself.

This was my first time doing a 1-to-1 with Optometry 101. The session was very helpful and informative. Tahiba took the time to understand what areas I need help on and focused on those areas in particular. Tahiba also showed me examples from her book and I found it really beneficial.

"I just received your book in the mail literally a few hours ago and managed to have a read through it just now whilst studying. I couldn't help to message and say how grateful I am to have found out about it. The way everything has been summarised and categorised so well is amazing.I'm so happy that the book is tailored to students as well as optometrists. The fact that you've included things such as a referral letter and different acronyms to use is such a great addition. I'm so relieved I managed to get this book in time for my exam in a few days, I feel like ALL my lecture notes are condensed in this book. May Allah grant you success, and I hope to see more books in the future.
THANK YOU!"

“The webinars from Optometry101, I cannot recommend them enough! They’ve been so informative and have helped me consider how to respond to different patient situations during my pre-reg, such as red eye and reduced vision. Getting first-hand experience from a qualified optometrist has helped me understand how to approach patients and ask key questions to improve my clinical approach."

"The OSCE Prep Webinar was really insightful and engaging. I found it especially useful how it focused on differential diagnoses and key questions to ask during history taking. The session helped me understand how to distinguish between similar red eye conditions and provided practical tips I can apply during my practical exams and in clinic."

I carry this book everywhere with me — it’s so handy and the best quick guide I’ve come across yet! It’s helped me so much through my third year, and I’m still using it during pre-reg :) It’s broken down and summarised really well, making it easy to read and understand. Love it! Thank you :)
L Sivananthan

"I can't praise the Optometry101 book enough. I took it with me to the OSCE and literally used it to read through while I was waiting. I've had it since the start of my pre-reg, and now that I’m qualified, it sits next to my computer as a go-to guide. I do wish it included images, but despite that, I absolutely love it. I’m currently letting my friend use it for her OSCE, and she finds it incredibly helpful as well.
Thank you so much for creating such fantastic resources. They have been a huge part of my journey, and I truly appreciate all the effort that has gone into them."

“The Optometry101 book is an asset for any student or optometrist. It’s my go-to for differential diagnoses and is laid out in a way that makes it easy to find key information and management for each commonly seen condition. It’s helped me understand much more about the key signs and symptoms to look out for in different conditions, which is vital when encountering new patient cases during my pre-reg period. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the field of optometry!”

“The History, Symptoms and Communication webinar was amazing! I learnt about the LOFTSEA technique, which is something I’m going to carry forward throughout my studies and beyond. I was also able to answer a question from one of the case scenarios during the webinar, which boosted my confidence."
Dainora Raulynaityte
Second Year Optometry Student
Attending this webinar was a great experience. The real-world ocular cases really helped me see how Optometry101 can be applied in practice. I found the book to be a much quicker resource than I had previously thought, due to its clear format and practical approach. It’s a very easily applicable resource both in practice and in studies. Seeing the contents page and the format of the booklet reinforced this. The sessions I’ve attended also gave me a clearer idea of the knowledge and skills I’ll need as I progress in my optometry career. It helped me understand what’s expected of me both academically and clinically. Overall, I feel more confident in my path forward, and I believe purchasing Optometry101 was well worth it for its practical value.

“The Describe the Fundus webinar was very helpful. It was a great way to refresh my memory on what I’d learnt at uni before starting pre-reg.
I have really enjoyed the webinars. They were so useful as a refresher, and everything was broken down in a really easy-to-understand way.
You’re doing amazing — you really inspire me! Keep up the good work:)”

This book was one of the most helpful resources I used while preparing for my OSCEs last year. The explanations are clear and concise, exactly what you need when you’re trying to build confidence in your clinical skills. The structured checklists made revision so much easier and helped me stay calm and organised during revision. If you’re an optometry student getting ready for OSCEs, I couldn’t recommend this book more. It truly made a difference in my preparation!

A must-have for pre reg students!!
This book is an excellent way for any pre reg or qualified optom to brush up their knowledge and technique. Its concise, reliable and so easy to follow! The best part of the book for me is how the author has weaved practical skills in with the theory and has used illustrations and diagrams to help build better understanding. As a pre reg myself, I gravitate towards this book as a regular basis. Its definitely eased my journey into pre-reg and helped better solidify my clinical understanding.
Shazia Mehmood

“The webinar were very insightful and covered various aspects of anatomy and disease, while also linking well to the Optometry 101 book. It highlighted the importance of considering a range of factors when dealing with patients and how to tailor our case history taking and questioning accordingly. Additionally, Tahiba was incredibly helpful, leaving time at the end to answer questions—whether related to the webinar content or other concepts in optometry. I’m now looking forward to future updates and will definitely make time for upcoming webinars, as they are truly a valuable resource for both students and practicing optometrists."

"The Optometry 101 book is an excellent resource—clear, concise, and easy to navigate, making it simple to identify problems or symptoms.
