The High Communication Wetlab: A Unique Innovation in Teaching Ophthalmic Surgery

Abstract

The continuous development of new surgical techniques and the need for efficient surgical education of ophthalmologists have inspired the development of the High Communication Wetlab (HCW). The HCW is a highly efficient, audio-visual teaching, learning and practising facility which is part of the European Comett II Project on Innovative Ophthalmic Surgery (INOS), also supported by the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS). The International Institute for Experimental Surgery and its scientific consultant board consisting of leading ophthalmic surgeons are the project leaders.
