You start assisting in paed cases by 3rd month and they give steps by 7th- 8th month, steps are mostly for squint cases, no hands-on for paed cataracts.

Neuro-Ophthal cases are seen in dept but not every textbook case is seen.

Cataract training included, starts with SICS, only 1 OT per week so 1 case/week, can increase to 2-3 cases/ OT.

Once SICS is mastered they move you to phaco after 6 months, however phaco numbers are low (< 20).

Academics- no formal classes, mostly self learning. 

Night duties- 2-3/month, Sunday duty 1/ month.

No formal bond but if they want people to stay back, they may ask you to commit to bond after fellowship. This should be clarified at the time of selection interview.
