PHACO TRAINING

Phaco training at Anjali Eye Care Center

Course overview of Phaco training at Anjali Eye

In Phaco training at Anjali Eye , candidates are given  one-to-one hands-on training personally supervised by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. We recommend our trainees to do at least 40 cases in a span of 2 or 3 weeks. The training will be step-by-step, first letting u get the feel of phaco probe and then the hang of foot pedals. Foot pedal control is crucial to mastering phaco. To begin with, you will be given trenching. It will really help us if you are pre trained in making capsulorhexis, but if not, do not fret. We are there for you. 

We provide We offer you  following advantages over  others:

1. Personalized training from the master eye doc, Dr. Sanjay Gupta who has done over 20,000 surgeries. We believe that surgery is a skill which can be acquired by doing and not watching or reading (which will also form a strong part of training) and skill acquisition comes only with practice.

2. Flexibility of training program. We are not rigid unlike other branded institutes. We understand people coming from other countries are making a lot of sacrifices and they do not get long leaves. Moreover it is quite harsh to leave ones family and stay in a foreign culture. Hence, we will try our best to give you as many cases as we can in as short a time as possible

3. We have developed a staying facility within the hospital premise which saves our trainees the expense and trouble of daily travel from the hotel to the surgery facility. It has a fully furnished air conditioned room with all modern amenities and an attached bathroom. We will be serving you home made meals which would be safe and healthy and hopefully provide you a taste of Indian culinary.

4. We will have a car arranged for you from and to the airport and also from the hotel to the Anjali Eye Center and back for no extra charges.
