About the Hands-on Phaco Surgery Training Program
The Hands-on Phaco Surgery Training program at CAOT Academy is built for ophthalmologists who want structured, practical exposure to core phacoemulsification technique. The course walks participants through each step of the procedure incision construction, capsulorhexis, nucleus emulsification, cortical cleanup, and IOL implantation with an emphasis on repetition and hands-on practice rather than theory alone. Training is delivered through wet lab sessions, live surgical demonstrations, and one-on-one mentorship from experienced ophthalmic surgeons, giving participants direct access to modern phaco equipment and instrumentation. Each session is designed to reinforce proper technique, build surgical rhythm, and correct common errors early. By the end of the program, participants leave with stronger fundamentals, improved surgical control, and the practical confidence to perform phaco surgery more efficiently.
