Ophthalmology is a fast advancing specialty, and there is a need to upgrade skills continuously. To address this need, GEF has introduced training programmes for aspirant Ophthalmologists in Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) and General Ophthalmology. Over 120 Ophthalmologists are already trained under this programme.
There is an urgent need for well trained Ophthalmic Assistants to provide basic eye care and services. In view of this, GEF runs a School for Optometry in its premises, which provides a 2-year course leading to a Diploma in Optometry, recognised by the Government of Karnataka. About 30 Ophthalmic Assistants are trained every year.
The aim of the programme is to provide a step by step approach to the advanced procedure, which will equip the trainees with understanding of the basic principles and the surgical techniques essential for consistent surgical outcomes.
Indian candidates: INR 90,000/-
International Candidates: INR 1,00,000/-
The course fees will be paid by cheque/cash/Demand Draft on the
