Department possess excellent simulation lab and wet lab facility for post graduate and under graduate teaching

WET LAB

The research lab allows them to gain the skills required on simulation eyes or goat eyes before operating on patients. All the steps of surgeries can be practiced under direct supervision and guidance of our faculty and senior postgraduates. Advanced phacoemulsification machines like the Laureate is at their disposal. The lab provides means of training our students in routine as well as sophisticated surgeries like minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries which will give them as edge over their contemporaries. Many a thesis/ dissertation of our students are based on the experiments conducted at our lab. ?

The lab is sure to awaken the scientist and nurture the surgeon in each of our students.?"
