Advancing Ophthalmology Education in phacoemulsification with Dr. Sanika Udyaver

At RIIO, the commitment to delivering high-quality ophthalmology knowledge and education is strengthened by partnerships with various stakeholders. This collaborative approach ensures that the latest advancements and best practices in eye care are accessible to all. The RIIO School stands at the forefront of this mission, offering residents unparalleled opportunities to learn and grow.

This month, RIIO is thrilled to welcome Sanika Udyaver, a global ophthalmology fellow at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. She went to medical school at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and completed her ophthalmology residency at Wills Eye Hospital. She is interested in improving global eye health, guiding resident education, and providing hands-on clinical care.

At RIIO, Sanika will be leading a wet lab program designed to teach residents the first steps of phacoemulsification, a critical skill in modern cataract surgery. Her expertise and dedication will greatly benefit the RIIO residents, helping them develop the practical skills needed to excel in their careers. This initiative is a testament to RIIO’s commitment to advancing ophthalmology education through collaboration and expert mentorship.
