 The study found that there is a lack of adequate surgical exposure to trainees during residency in India. This is due to the fact that many residency programs do not have the necessary resources to provide adequate training. Furthermore, the majority of trainees do not operate independently until their final year of residency, which limits their experience and skill set. Additionally, the study showed that the majority of trainees did not have access to wet labs, cadavers or surgical simulators for training. This suggests that there is a need for more comprehensive training programs in order to improve the quality of care provided by ophthalmologists in India.
