lasik training

   Purpose of LASIK Training

The purpose of LASIK training is to equip ophthalmologists with the skills and knowledge
necessary to perform safe and successful LASIK surgery.
LASIK is a complex surgical procedure that involves the creation of a thin flap in the cornea,
which is then lifted and an excimer laser is used to reshape the underlying corneal tissue.
LASIK surgeons need to have a good understanding of the most recent technology
as well as preoperative and postoperative patient care. This is where LASIK training comes in.
With the advances in technology in refractive surgery, there are increasing demands
for a competency-based curriculum that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving procedural techniques.
Traditionally, as in many other medical and surgical training programs,
the focus in the curriculum has been the volume of surgical procedures and an emphasis on surgical autonomy.

Traditionally, as in many other medical and surgical LASIK training programs,
the focus in the curriculum has been the volume of surgical procedures and an emphasis on surgical autonomy.
However, in the area of refractive surgery, the more appropriate and modern LASIK training
approach should center on the outcomes of the surgery and the decision-making process
based on the proper preoperative evaluation and patient selection.

 Well-structured training programs with specific training objectives are fundamental
for the acquisition of adequate microsurgical skills, patient care, and the most recent technological
knowledge that underpins a successful surgical career in the refractive surgical field.
A comprehensive LASIK training program should include a series of hands-on experiences
that range from simple to more advanced surgery.

The curriculum should start from the very basic principles of refractive surgery.
Then, the trainees can gradually move on to more advanced topics and they will be introduced
to the most recent technological developments in this exciting and rapidly evolving surgical field.
