The mentorship was outstanding and I gained valuable hands-on skills in a supportive environment. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in advancing their surgical training.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just finished the Phaco course at Oftalmo University in Barcelona and honestly, it was fantastic! The teachers are incredible — they explain everything so clearly and give you confidence at every step. The course has this perfect balance of being intense and super fun at the same time. The facilities and simulators are absolutely top-class and give the whole program a really prestigious feel. I never imagined learning surgery could be so enjoyable! And doing it all in Barcelona makes the whole experience even better. Easily the best way to grow into a confident surgeon! Big thanks to Lisandro, Ivo, and the rest of the team!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Oftalmo University both for beginners with no prior surgical training and for those who already have surgical experience! I completed a one-week cataract surgery course and now feel fully confident to begin operating, as we learned not only the basics but also how to manage challenging cases and handle complications. The learning process was super interesting, pressure-free and in amazing company. Many thanks to the best teacher Dr. Lisandro Carnielli!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An outstanding place to sharpen ophthalmic surgery skills. The welcoming mentors, truly international atmosphere (colleagues from many countries) and state-of-the-art facilities make learning both smooth and enjoyable. The program moves swiftly from theory to operations under the close eye of experienced surgeons, so you always feel safe. Everything is impeccably organized, and the team’s positive energy keeps you motivated throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any ophthalmologist looking to boost both competence and confidence in the OR in a short time!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I find this simulation training for cataract surgery the best of all! They use haage streit machine, which make very real simulation and the people make wonderful teaching! I am thankful especially to Lisandro Carnielli, who made sure I put into practice what I’ve learned from Ivo theoretically. And don’t forget the Ivo challenge, which will take you to another level 🙂! All in all great experience!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took a 2 weeks course, found it really helpful. It allows for hours of repetitions of the same step until you actually feel like you understand it. Although I have to say, that just a simulator on its own is not enough, one still needs an input from an experienced surgeon. Luckily the mentors there can help with tips and tricks and explain why something is not going as well as one wants.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed the Phase 2 cataract surgery training at Oftalmo University and it exceeded all my expectations. This one-week, hands-on program builds on theoretical foundations with intensive practice in dry and wet labs. My mentors, Dr. Lisandro Carnielli and Dr. Ivo Ferreira, provided personalized, expert guidance, making conplex techniques feel accessible. Dr. Carnielli’s focus on breaking down procedures into actionable steps, with immediate simulator feedback, greatly accelerated my progress. The emphasis on ergonomics, stress management, and real-world scenarios was transformative. Despite the intense schedule, this program is a must for ophthalmologists aiming to master cataract surgery. It was a game-changer for me, and I highly recommend it!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
