Phacoemulsification Simulation Training Course (PSTC)
December 2 @ 8:30 am - December 6 @ 4:30 pm
Course Details:
In this course, you will learn the complete Phaco procedure as standardized by HelpMeSee.
This technique ultrasonically emulsifies the cataract and allows cataract removal through a small opening in the cornea.
A foldable IOL is then implanted through the corneal incision.

Along with simulation training, you will undergo a self-paced eLearning course
to strengthen your understanding of key concepts prior to simulation training.
to strengthen your understanding of key concepts prior to simulation training.
The course is divided into five modules, each focussing on a specific segment of the surgery.
- Module A – Phaco Incisions
- Module B – Capsulorrhexis & Hydroprocedures
- Module C – Lens Removalo Divide & Conquero Stop & Chopo Direct Chop
- Module D – Cortex Aspiration & IOL Implantation
- Module E – Visco Wash & Wound Hydration
Objectives:
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand and recall the different concepts related to Phaco
- Understand tissue and instrument interactions and depth perception
- Identify visual and tactile cues¥ Develop hand, eye, and foot coordination by using the foot pedal
- Develop hand, eye, and foot coordination by using the foot pedal
- Develop the required skills to perform Phaco in a simulated environment
Outcome:
This course will equip you with the necessary skills to perform Phaco in a simulatedenvironment, enabling a smooth transition to live surgery.
Prerequisites:
You should be an ophthalmologist with or without previous surgical experience in Phaco andhave the following characteristics:
- Good hand-eye coordination
- Normal stereopsis
- Good spatial skills
- Basic computer skills- knows how to navigate a laptop keyboard, touch pad, mouse
You will be required to complete an eLearning course and assessment prior to startingsimulation-based training.
