M.S. Ophthalmology
M.S. Ophthalmology covers medical and surgical eye care, including cataract and other common ophthalmic procedures, through structured clinical training across the three-year residency. Residents gain OPD consultation experience alongside operating theatre training and also actively participate in the National Blindness Control Programme, reaching wider community populations. This combination builds both diagnostic and surgical skills across a broad range of common and more complex eye conditions encountered in routine and referral practice. Structured outreach exposure strengthens preventive and public health orientation.
