  • The course will begin at 9 am and finish at 430 pm. Lunch is not provided.

  • We will cover basic strabismus surgery principles and can cater for the needs of more senior trainees is smaller groups.

Please meet at the reception in the Cambridge Eye Unit; we will be leaving for the lab from there at 845 sharp. You will find it difficult to access the lab if you arrive late.
