Summary

This study watched videos of glaucoma surgical fellows placing Hydrus microstents to see how many cases it takes them to become skilled. Five doctors from three universities took part. The goal was to find the average number of surgeries needed to score at least 80% on a 12-step competency checklist. The results help training programs know how much practice new surgeons need.
