About Cataract and Refractive Surgery, PG Dip - at Ulster University

Students of refractive or cataract surgery are often in full-time employment and have difficulty attending taught courses. Hence, a novel approach has been used where internationally renowned refractive specialists such as Jorge Alio, Dimitri Azar and Michael Mrochen to mention a few, have given talks which are presented in an e-learning format. This enables students to study in their own time and location with the support of e-tutors and course discussion pages. Weekly discussion themes are based on different case scenarios.

At present, cataract and refractive surgery is poorly taught in most countries. In the UK, there is no formal training in refractive surgery and most people who undertake refractive surgery teach themselves with some help from the short introductory courses available from different organisations around the world and specific instrumentation courses organised by the manufacturers. The course aims to develop the qualities and transferable skills necessary for the understanding of the key theoretical elements necessary for effectively assisting or performing Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
