Abstract

Surgery is an integral part of ophthalmic practice with skill acquisition & progressive mastery being an evolutionary process that is largely unstructured & loose during residency training.The prevailing practice of operating on indigent patients as beginners is quite unacceptable. Lack of options & huge costs of existing simulator technologies are bottlenecks preventing a seamless transition of the novice surgeon to a well-rounded one.This video aims to bridge the the existing gap by illustrating most ophthalmic surgical procedures using indigenous materials & methods that will be very handy for beginners, simulates actual conditions,is easy to replicate & builds necessary hand-eye coordination paving the way for a courageous graduation of the beginner to operating on live patients
