Vitreo-Retinal Surgery Fellowship review @ Aravind Eye Hospital, Coimbatore

• Exposure to all types of retina cases at Aravind is good, we will get lots of lasers and injections including in ROP cases, surgery number is also reasonable.

• 2 weeks uvea and ROP + ocular oncology training included, thereafter you will be going for ROP screening in the periphery where you will again see good number of ROPs. 

• At the end of fellowship you will be confident with basic cases but you won't get PDR membrane cases and macular hole (ILM peeling step).

• There are lot of fellows, surgery numbers may vary between fellows. 

• Work load is huge, but toxicity in the department is less.

• No single mentor, OT rotation is there.
