New Addition to CVC: Phaco Lab Established
Thanks to the help and support of Alcon, our program was able to locate and
acquire equipment to outfit a permanent wet lab in the Center for Vision Care
in 2003.
The surgical lab is an excellent way to introduce the resident to the "feel"
of microscopy including the magnified world of the microscope and surgical maneuvers
entirely dependent on the hand-held instrument. It is also an experience that
provides the opportunity to practice at a pace of his or her own choosing. Every
nuance can be discussed with the instructor who can also sit in for demonstration
purposes. Wet labs are often preceded by a presentation on a specific type of
surgery in order to give the residents an overview before approaching the practice
eye. Residents are shown below in a wet lab sponsored by Alcon.
2006 News: Thanks to Alcon, the wet lab was updated with a new Legacy EVEREST phacoemulsification system in January.
