Researchers map the path to mastering a tiny eye implant

NCT ID NCT06964139

Summary

This study aimed to understand how quickly new eye surgeons learn to implant a tiny device called the Hydrus microstent, which is used to treat glaucoma. Researchers watched surgery videos from 5 new glaucoma fellows to count how many procedures it took them to perform competently without supervision. The goal was to help improve surgical training programs by defining a clear learning path.
