Ophthalmology is a predominantly morphology of clinical discipline. The eye has the characteristics of small scale, close structure, complex and diverse diseases, different clinical manifestations and so on. As an effective tool, the mind map can promote thinking visualization, help learners establish the logic relation of things and cultivate their innovative ability.

On the one hand, teachers can optimize the teaching design, clarify the teaching ideas, and on the other hand, students can draw the mind map on their own or with others which will improve their subjective initiative of learning and study efficiency, and at the same time cultivate their ability of mutual collaboration.
