About the Advanced Phaco Surgery Training Program
The Advanced Phaco Surgery Training program at CAOT Academy is built for practicing ophthalmologists who want to refine their phacoemulsification skills beyond the fundamentals. Rather than focusing on basic technique, this course addresses the real challenges surgeons face in complex cataract cases dense nuclei, compromised zonular support, small pupil management, and posterior capsule rupture prevention. Training is delivered through a combination of live surgical observation, wet lab practice, and one-on-one mentorship from experienced ophthalmic surgeons, giving participants direct exposure to advanced instrumentation and modern phaco techniques used in high-volume surgical settings. Each session is structured to build not just technical skill, but the clinical judgment needed to anticipate complications and adapt intraoperative strategy. By the end of the program, participants leave with greater surgical confidence, sharper decision-making under pressure, and practical techniques they can apply immediately in their own operating rooms.
