Surgical Simulation in Ophthalmology

A simulation-based environment for practical surgical experience in controlled and realistic conditions.

Small-group format • Realistic simulation environment • Hands-on surgical practice

OphthalmoClub is a platform focused on simulation-based practice in ophthalmology, combining structured simulation activities, controlled environments, and hands-on experience to support the development of practical skills and procedural understanding.

Courses take place in a fully equipped ophthalmic wet-lab facility, using ex vivo ocular tissue and artificial eye models within a controlled simulation environment.

Activities are conducted in a small-group format, enabling focused interaction, direct guidance, and repeated practice. The approach follows a step-by-step progression, integrating dry-lab and wet-lab simulation to reflect different stages of surgical procedures.

Why Ophthalmoclub

Each course is designed around what you do at the microscope.

Activities are structured around repeated practice on artificial eye models and ex vivo tissue, with time to return to each step as often as it takes.

You practice, step by step.

Each surgical step is approached individually under continuous, individualized supervision in a small-group setting.

The pace respects the practice.

Courses are built around repetition rather than rapid exposure, allowing each technique to be approached carefully and refined at the participant’s own pace.
