Officials from the Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology, Alcon-Vietnam and the IAO participated in an opening ceremony for the Fundamentals in Phacoemulsification course this morning (Tuesday, October 7). It was attended by all 20 students, a number of staff from the VNIO, and the local news media.
In the afternoon, another lecture took place, as well as the inauguration of the web lab constructed for the VNIO by Alcon. Drs. Rosselson and Nadimpalli instructed the course participants in basic phaco techniques and operation of the phaco machine. Tomorrow morning, Dr. Rosselson will perform two phaco cases of patients with very dense cataracts (not atypical in Vietnam). Dr. Nadimpalli will describe the procedure for the students who will be watching on a television monitor. Some more time in the wet lab also is scheduled.
