Center for Vision Care: Phaco Lab EstablishedThanks 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. Below are pictures from the 2008 Wet Lab.
