The material was well-structured and gave me practical knowledge I know I’ll carry forward into my medical career. Highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a path in surgery!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Soy oftalmólogo veterinario y si hoy hago cirugía de cataratas es porque estuve en Oftalmo University campus Europa. Aprendí desde cero en un programa muy completo y sumamente avanzado. El Dr. Lisandro es un excelente cirujano, excelente profesor, excelente tutor. Estuvo lado a lado conmigo para enseñarme y respondía todas mis preguntas de forma clara y concisa. Debo destacar lo espectacular que es trabajar en sus simuladores, los más modernos del mundo para aprender esta cirugía tan compleja. Una vez que haces una cirugía real, te das cuenta de lo parecido que es al simulador. Recomiendo totalmente el programa de facoemulsificación de Oftalmo university campus Europa!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed an intensive course using cataract surgery simulators, and it was an extremely valuable experience. The training was very intensive, and I learned a great deal during this time. Dr Carnielli is an excellent mentor who shared a lot of knowledge with me and provided many practical tips step by step. I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn from his clinical experience. Working with these simulators was a fantastic experience, offering a great opportunity to develop and refine surgical skills in a very effective way. I believe that simulator training is an important part of surgical education and is truly worth the investment.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

El entrenamiento en Oftalmo University a superado toda mis espectativas y estoy muy agradecido con todo el equipo. Muchas gracias por todo.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent training experience. I completed a one-week cataract course and, in such a short time, gained an incredible amount of knowledge-more than I would have thought possible. The mentor, Lisandro, is outstanding: approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer every question in detail. The practical tips and surgical insights he shared truly made a difference. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, whether you are just starting with no surgical experience or already have extensive experience with hundreds of cataract procedures. It is absolutely worth it.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All cataract surgeons should attend these courses! 💯 Every great journey starts with strong basics – and here you truly get much more than just basics. This course changes your mindset and builds real self-confidence 👏 I appreciated every second spent there, because everything I learned directly improves my patients’ visual outcomes 🙌 Our mentor Lisandro was absolutely outstanding 💯👏 With great gratittude, Viktorija🇱🇹👏🫶Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to take this course. I have learned so much and feel like I am better equipped for cataract surgery. Beyond the simulator (which is incredibly helpful), the lectures were honestly my favorite part. Lisandro made concepts that I’ve struggled with so straight forward. It was also a very relaxing, open environment where I felt safe to make mistakes and grow from them. Any cataract surgeon (no matter the skill level) would benefit greatly!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent two weeks at the OU Campus in Europe. Lisandro was welcoming from the beginning and he was an exceptional instructor. He focused on us understanding the fundamentals of cataract surgery and was very supportive of our individual surgical journey. It did not matter the stage of our surgical experience, he was very open and genuine. I highly recommend this advanced cataract course as you will leave a changed surgeon for the better. It was a life changing experience and my time there was priceless.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First of all: it’s expensive but it is definitely so so worth it, especially if you have less experience. As for me, I already have done more than 300 cases in real eyes and could still benefit enormously from one week training rigorously with the simulator. There are 3 simulators so 3 students can train at once. Everyone has their own simulator so no need to worry about splitting up training times. There is one mentor that is available during work day hours 8 am to 4 pm. You are going to have a daily curriculum and work through challenging tasks in the simulator which include all basic phaco steps from start to end (except incisions and hydrating incisions). You are going to learn the 3 major techniques for phaco (divide and conquer, stop and chop, phaco chop), all chop techniques. My mentor was Lissandro and he was an amazing teacher. He could explain everything very well and you just immediately notice that he loves to pass on knowledge unlike most of phaco surgeons you encounter in the world. I could ask all kind of questions, he spectated you movements and gave all kind of advice on how to improve. Ofc it’s dependent on how hard you work during the time there but after this week my skills regarding the capsulorhexis, cracking, chopping and my one handed ability for micromovements improved so much - so much that it probably would have taken me another 300 cases to reach that kind of easiness that I feel in my hand now. I did lots of my surgical movements in the eye with my non dominant hand supporting the dominant hand for stabilization but I can do everything one handed now..even the rhexis with my non dominant hand! It’s incredible how all the training you did on the simulator translates very well to real life eyes. Complication management is also something really important that’s included in the curriculum. I again want to thank Ivo and Lissandro for that great week that improved my skills by a lot!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the Cataract Academy program at Oftalmo University in Barcelona, and I must say it has been one of the best—if not the best—theoretical and hands-on trainings I have ever experienced. Throughout an intense week in this “cataract drill camp,” the instructors work to instill in your mind and hands as much surgical knowledge and skill as humanly possible. Lisandro is an exceptional teacher, colleague, and motivator, and he manages to build your confidence while advancing your surgical abilities. I can honestly say that this experience has made me a better doctor, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in cataract surgery.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
