LAUSR

Summary Many glaucoma sub-specialists undergo intense fellowship training before embarking on independent practice but no experience specifically prepares you for the first months of your solo career. Additionally, tube surgery may not be ubiquitously used and competition from more traditional surgeries (e.g. trabeculectomy) and Micro-incisional Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) can result in limited exposure to GDI surgery during the course of fellowships and insecurities when performing the first few cases independently. This part of the SIS will provide expert tips and genuine advice from young glaucoma consultants from across Europe who will share videos and experiences from their first few cases as solo glaucoma specialists. This will include tips on preventing and handling complications, the sharing of lessons and pitfalls to be expected, specific advice on how to handle complications and pearls on how to safely teach residents and fellows.
