The foundations of ophthalmic surgery course is a structured, simulation-based training program designed to equip young ophthalmologists with the essential skills needed to begin safe and confident surgical practice.
This course provides step by step instruction in core ophthalmic techniques using microscopes, surgical models, and guided hands-on practice. Trainees learn fundamental skills such as tissue handling, suturing, instrument coordination, incision techniques, and management of routine surgical steps - building the competence required before transitioning to real-patient surgery.
