ABSTRACT Purpose: To describe a goats’ eye training model for teaching of trabeculectomy and releasable suture techniques for Ophthalmology residents. Methods: A descriptive report explaining the methodology for setting up a goats’ eye wet-lab model for teaching trabeculectomy for Ophthalmology residents. It details the approaches to eyeball preparation, steps of surgery, application and release of two representative types of ‘releasable sutures’ in a step-by-step manner. Conclusion: A systematic approach using goats’ eye model to teach trabeculectomy and releasable suture techniques can enhance residents’ understanding, confidence and expertise to operate upon human eyes.
