Quick Answer
Ophthalmology carries 4–6% weightage in NEET-PG & INICET — approximately 16–24 questions out of 300. The highest-yield topics are Glaucoma — types, pathophysiology, intraocular pressure, treatment, Cataract — types, surgical techniques (ECCE, phacoemulsification), Retinal disorders — CRVO, CRAO, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and ophthalmology questions combine clinical scenarios with visual field diagrams, fundoscopy descriptions, and instrument identification.
These are the topics that have appeared most frequently in NEET-PG & INICET papers across the last 10 sessions. Cover them first — together they account for roughly 70% of the Ophthalmology marks distribution.
Ophthalmology questions combine clinical scenarios with visual field diagrams, fundoscopy descriptions, and instrument identification. Visual field defect questions (which lesion causes which field loss) are among the most predictable NEET-PG & INICET questions.
Draw the visual pathway from retina to occipital cortex, marking the exact field defect at each level of lesion. This single diagram will answer 3–4 visual field questions in every NEET-PG & INICET. For glaucoma, know the difference in appearance of disc cupping in POAG vs. PACG.
Neglecting systemic associations of eye diseases — uveitis in ankylosing spondylitis, band keratopathy in hyperparathyroidism, Kayser-Fleischer rings in Wilson's disease. These bridge ophthalmology with medicine.

Ophthalmology carries approximately 4–6% of the NEET-PG & INICET paper, which translates to 16–24 questions out of 300 total questions.
The highest-yield topics for NEET-PG & INICET Ophthalmology are: Glaucoma — types, pathophysiology, intraocular pressure, treatment; Cataract — types, surgical techniques (ECCE, phacoemulsification); Retinal disorders — CRVO, CRAO, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment; Corneal disorders — keratoconus, corneal ulcer (bacterial vs. viral); Optic neuritis and visual pathway lesions — field defects.
Ophthalmology questions combine clinical scenarios with visual field diagrams, fundoscopy descriptions, and instrument identification. Visual field defect questions (which lesion causes which field loss) are among the most predictable NEET-PG & INICET questions.
