PHACOEMULSIFICATION
SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING COURSE

Why Learn Phacoemulsification?

Phacoemulsification is a transformative skill for any eye surgeon. For the surgeon, mastering phacoemulsification cataract surgery allows new professional opportunities, enhancing one’s surgical repertoire and making one more marketable. This advanced surgical  technique is highly sought after in the ophthalmology field, and proficiency in it can elevate  an eye surgeon’s career to the next level.

Our meticulously developed Phacoemulsification Simulation-based Training Course is designed to equip eye surgeons with the skills needed to execute the entire Phacoemulsification procedure confidently and proficiently, utilizing the state-of-the-art HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator. Every intricate step, including the complex processes of trenching, dividing, and emulsifying the nucleus, is realistically simulated to provide an immersive, lifelike learning experience. 

The Phacoemulsification Training Course emphasizes the development of hand-eye-foot coordination, vital for deftly maneuvering instruments during intraocular surgery and manipulating ultrasound energy via a foot pedal. With the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery simulator, you will master all the necessary skills to confidently perform Phacoemulsification in real-world surgical environments. 

Elevate your surgical expertise and make a significant impact on patient outcomes with our comprehensive Phacoemulsification Simulation-based Training Course.
