Fellows gain hands-on experience in medical, laser, and surgical therapies including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), trabeculectomy, tube shunts, and cyclodestructive procedures. The program also provides extensive training in complex cataract surgery for glaucoma patients and offers exposure to challenging cases requiring multidisciplinary care, such as pediatric and secondary glaucomas.
