About the EBOD Exam
The European Board of Ophthalmology Diploma assesses ophthalmology knowledge and clinical skills to support harmonised standards across Europe. Successful candidates who meet diploma requirements may use the Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology title.
Exam sponsor: European Board of Ophthalmology. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
EBOD is a comprehensive ophthalmology diploma examination in English. From the May 2024 update, Part I has 30 traditional EBO multiple true/false MCQs and 30 Single Best Answer questions. Part II uses standardised Viva Voce or online Clinical Cases: onsite delivery covers 8 cases in 4 stations, while online delivery uses typed clinical cases.
Time Limit
Part I lasts 2 hours, or 2.5 hours only if an onsite technical problem requires paper answer sheets. Part II lasts 60 minutes onsite for 8 cases in 4 stations or 80 minutes online for typed clinical cases.
Passing Score
Candidates must score 6 or greater in Part I to pass. Scores are rescaled so that the cohort mean minus one standard deviation is assigned a 6. The final algorithm gives 40% weight to MCQ and 60% to four clinical-case stations; the overall result must be 6 or greater. One clinical station may be below 6 only if the MCQ score and overall score are both above 6.
Reported exam pass rate: EBO states that the EBOD pass rate has been stable over the past years at around 90 percent.. This describes exam candidates, not OpenExamPrep users or results from using our resources. Exam sponsor website

How do the EBOD vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 EBOD terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the EBOD terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the European Board of Ophthalmology content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
