Cornea Fellowship review @ Disha Eye Hospital, Barrackpore, West Bengal

They have only Cornea program at this hospital, no other fellowships. 

Usually 1 year long but tenure is decided based on your experience at the time of interview with Dr Samar Basak, head of Cornea (for eg, someone just out of PG without much specialty exposure may be asked to do fellowship for 2 years).

This is a purely Cornea fellowship, no refractive or cataract training.

Clinical exposure is good.

No camp cases, all private patients- even then fellows can expect to get an average of 50-100 penetrating keratoplasties.

Hands-on starts usually after first 2 months and progresses step-wise- you train in wet lab first and when Basak sir feels you are ready, then he moves you to the OT list.

Lamellar surgeries also done- but fellows don't get hands-on, only observation. 

Last month of fellowship will see you observing refractive procedures (no hands-on).

If you are a private practitioner and interested in setting up eye bank services for your hospital, then this is a good program.
