Check out the following website:

http://www.ophthofacts.com/

It was put together by the residents at NYU. It has some good OKAP review notes, interesting case presentations and "ophthlamology made ridiculously facil" which has a comprehensive list of phrases in ophthalmic spanish that will be very useful in clinics.

Good luck!
