Cataract Simulation Course
Hands-on surgical simulation course focused on core cataract surgery techniques in ophthalmology.
This course is designed to support the development of surgical control in cataract surgery through a structured, stepwise simulation approach.
Activities are conducted in a controlled wet-lab environment with a strong focus on instrument handling, surgical orientation, and intraoperative workflow.
Participants engage key steps of cataract surgery through repeated hands-on practice, developing precision, coordination, and procedural confidence.
