INTRODUCTION
The NHG Eye Institute Ophthalmic Microsurgical Course
will be held on 16 and 17 Sep 2011. This course is aimed at
meeting the needs of the junior eye surgeon, especially the
1st and 2nd year Basic Ophthalmic Trainees.
Lectures on basic microsurgical techniques as well as an
introduction to the operating microscope will be given
before participants are given hands-on opportunities to
practise techniques in suturing, extracapsular cataract
extraction and phacoemulsification. The small participantto-tutor ratio will ensure that all participants have plenty of
practice.
A certificate of attendance will be given to all participants.
CME accreditation points will be awarded by the Singapore
