NAME OF THE INSTITUTE: Shri Ganesh Vinayak Eye Hospital, Raipur
- STIPEND: Not a stipend-based program. Training Fee: ₹80,000 (Covers 20 surgical cases and on-site accommodation; meals are additional).
- DURATION: Short Term (Contact institute for specific session length)
- HONEST REVIEW:
- Surgical Yield: The program provides a guaranteed volume of 20 Phacoemulsification cases. It is designed specifically for surgeons who are already proficient in SICS and can confidently perform a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC).
- Pedagogy & Support: Training is supervised by a senior consultant known for an encouraging and non-toxic teaching style. This constructive mentorship is highly effective for building surgical confidence in early-career ophthalmologists.
- Facility Benefits: A significant advantage is the availability of surgical recording, allowing trainees to review their procedures for self-correction. The hospital provides internal accommodation, which simplifies logistics.
- Administrative Logistics: Due to high demand, there is a minimum waiting period of six months for an available slot. Early application is mandatory.
- PERSONAL OPINION: This is an excellent “finishing school” for candidates who have the basic manual skills but need a concentrated burst of supervised Phaco cases to turn the corner toward independence. It is best suited for those transitioning from residency to private practice who value a supportive learning environment over high-volume clinical drudgery.
