This programme of AMO at Laxmi Eye Institute is an eye opener. It is has helped me to regain my confidence after hiatus period of 2 years. The Phacodynamics classes and wetlab training on wax eyes and human nucleus has helped me learn so much about the machine. I bought and also has refined and honed my skills. I would like to thanks Mr. Kartik who was behind me in taking up this course and Mr. Chandrakant who spent all his time in teaching me basics and helped overcome my errors. . I thank the OT team who was always enthusiastic about the trainers and co-operative.
Dr. Vijay Shetty Sir has taught me each and every steps of Phaco in a proper way, which I intended to follow henceforth. He was very patient and kind to the beginners and encouraged when I did better. I am indebted to the entire team of Phacoshaala and would attribute this training to all my future surgeries. They go out of the way to help Doctors in learning the right technicalities of Phaco. Chandrakant was so encouraging and sincere till the end with the same zest and Zeal.
Thank you
