This video demonstrates how ophthalmology trainees practice surgical skills and techniques in a safe and standardized way through wet lab training. It eliminates the risks associated with operating on real eyes. The video also includes a dry lab simulator, which refers to a type of laboratory involving applied/computational mathematical analyses.

This video demonstrates the procedure for a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery combined with a cataract surgery. A small incision is made to remove the cataract and drain the trapped fluid to lower eye pressure.

This video follows an intravitreal surgery performed at Fundacion Vision Hospital in Paraguay. It demonstrates how a shot of medicine is injected into the eye/vitreous to treat certain problems and protect one's vision.

This video follows the procedure for a phacoemulsification cataract surgery performed at Fundacion Vision Hospital in Paraguay. It applies ultrasound waves to break up the nucleus and a surgeon-guided automated irrigation and aspiration to remove the nuclear fragments.

This video demonstrates the procedure for extracting the silicone oil previously applied during a vitreous procedure. Silicone oil may be injected into the eye(s) of patients to help keep the retina in position while it heals and treat cataracts temporarily. The oil must be removed, however, since it is not a long-term solution and can cause other vision issues and complications after prolonged use.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a diabetes complication that occurs when high blood sugar damages the eye's retina. Laser cataract surgery is preferred when dealing with retinopathy, but if laser treatment is not used, effective control of retinopathy must be maintained for at least three months before surgery. This surgery was conducted at Fundacion Vision Hospital in Paraguay.

This video follows the procedure for a standard cataracts surgery performed at the Fundacion Vision Hospital in Paraguay. The standard cataract procedure includes removing the patient's cloudy natural lens with a blade and replacing it with an artificial lens, known as an intraocular lens (IOL).
