Abstract
AN OPHTHALMOLOGY RESIDENT IS ASSUMED TO BE CONFIDENT AND COMPETENT IN BASIC SURGERIES LIKE PTERYGIUM AND CATARACT. HOWEVER UNLIKE CLINICAL TRAINING , SURGICAL SKILL ACQUISITION REQUIRES EXTENSIVE, SUPERVISED HANDS-ON TRAINING AND PRACTICE. MOREOVER, THE DELICATE NATURE OF THE OCULAR TISSUE AND THE SMALL SCALE OF THE EYE’S ANATOMICAL COMPONENTS RESULT IN A LOW TOLERANCE FOR ERROR. ALSO THE LACK OF CONSENSUS AND STRICT GUIDELINES FOR SURGICAL TRAINING IN INDIA RESULTS IN WIDE VARIATION IN THE SURGICAL COMPETENCY AMONG RESIDENTS. TOP OF THAT, EPIDEMICS LIKE COVID HAD RESULTED IN VERY LESS SURGICAL EXPOSURE EVEN IN HIGH VOLUME INSTITUTES. HENCE THIS IC IS PRIMARILY AIMED AT HELPING RESIDENTS IN ACHIEVING AND LEARNING MAXIMUM FROM THE MINIMUM CASES THEY GET AND ALSO TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF WAYS TO TRAIN THEMSELVES WITHOUT LIVE PATIENTS WITH HELPS OF STIMULATORS AND WETLABS.
