Ophthalmological Surgical Experimental workshops 2

Experimental Surgeries aim to improve learning with extended theoretical analyses and further improve the abilities of the trainees for the application of surgical techniques in ophthalmology. It has been demonstrated that these training provide the opportunity for the development and advancement of surgical skills, as well as offering conditions that closely resemble those of the real operating room. Training in experimental conditions prepares and facilitates participants in familiarizing themselves with the steps of the most common surgical techniques. The program has extended theoretical approaches with presentations for the ophthalmological surgical procedures, including materials, machines and surgical methods in Ophthalmological diseases requiring interventions. This includes in more detail, the demonstration of slides and videos and the study of articles and publications in the field of relevant topics of surgical Ophthalmology. Hands-on practice is the other part of the training and includes performing the most common ophthalmological procedures at experimental level on porcine eyes.
