Dr. Christian Oberuck
Overall the experience is really great. Tutoring is very good, the tutors are exceptionally masterful in their field, their English is excellent. I like that beginners are supervised more closely and that if you are more experienced, you can do cases on your own, but if you have any problems or questions, immediately somebody will come and help

Dr. Dimitrios Panagiotou
The phaco training course, which I attended, was highly interesting and didactic exceeding my initial expectations. The organizers, the doctors and all staff of the ophthalmic center were very hospitable and eager to adjust all the details before and during my stay in Cairo. My personal supervisor and mentor is a perfect surgeon, but apart from this, he is an exceptional teacher, who conveys the secrets of the art of cataract surgery in his unique way. The medical director of the center is a very skilled surgeon, always willing to share his knowledge and experience. I highly recommend this course for a beginner surgeon or for one who seeks to improve his/her performance. Overall, the course was excellent, and I feel very lucky that I participated in it. Hope I come again and meet you! Thank you very much for your valuable support!

Dr. Martin Kolawski
My surgical training with EOTA was outstanding. The program provided excellent teaching and guidance, enabling me to reach my target case numbers in half the expected time.
The doctors are highly skilled in both surgery and complication management, and their didactic approach makes the learning curve very efficient. Most importantly patient care was exemplary - every patient received full medical support and no one leaves without a proper lens. It is a place where you can learn confidently, knowing the patients are in the best hands.

Dr. Dimitrios Kapantis
This was a fantastic cataract surgery course. I completed an advanced cataract surgery course for 2 weeks during which I performed advanced phaco surgeries including small pupils using iris hooks and traumatic cataracts using a CTR, ECCEs and even an intra. Furthermore, I implanted sulcus three-piece and iris-claw lenses in some of the cases. My trainers were excellent as apart from their vast surgical experience and knowledge, they had great teaching skills. They offered their top step-by-step tips generously to improve my technique and efficiency. Madame Mahinaz offered her valuable help for all administrative issues and was the first point of contact to book my dates with the surgeries I wanted. I decided to join this course after the very positive feedback of a friend and booked my slot 2-3 months in advance. This course easily exceeded my expectations and was extremely useful since after completing it I feel more confident in managing advanced cataract cases. I would suggest it with no hesitation, just book your slot in advance. Thank you so much for your high quality work and this great course!

I attended a cataract-surgery-course in Cairo, based on recommendations of colleagues of mine from Jordan and Iraq who did the same course earlier.
I’m writing this review as the course comes to an end and I’m preparing to fly back to UK, where I work.
I’d like to describe this overly positive experience.
First, arranging for the course was very easy. Personally, I took the contacts from my colleagues. A lovely lady is in charge of coordination and arrangements; Mahinaz”. She is very cooperative, punctual, and flexible.
Weather in Cairo was very good; sunny and moderately warm. The city is safe, and all facilities are available. People are generally very friendly and welcoming.
The centre operates Saturday through Thursday. It is clean and well-maintained inside. The team are welcoming and friendly. This includes receptionists, nurses, and doctors. It’s an overly positive atmosphere.
They have three operation theaters, with very good machines. They use Leica/Zeiss microscopes, and they have Two Infinity phaco-machines and one Oertli machine. My training was on the Infinity machine, which is widely used in Europe.
Regarding the cataract surgeries, patients are identified through the outreach clinics, and the organization provides full transport, treatment, and follow up for them. The whole team makes sure that the best treatment is delivered to those patients. Additionally, many of the patients who are referred to center with complex cases have their surgeries done by the consultant or specialists, to insure best outcomes. The patients are very appreciative and pleased by the treatment they receive. Knowing that by taking this course I’m contributing to this humanitarian cause is a satisfying fulfilling feeling.Fourth, the social aspect of the this trip. During the course, the team was very generous. the coordinators was supportive all the way, and helped sort several things like food, Covid, PCR testing for travel etc. I was offered complementary Egyptian food at the center, and another trainee and I were invited and some of the doctors at the center, for dinner at a cruise in the Nile. We were also taken on a drive around some of the ancient areas in central Cairo. I felt that was very heart-warming. Overall, I feel that this was a very positive experience. I can tell that I have progressed in cataract surgery, and I’m so excited to apply the new skills i learned in my future career. I believe that I have made a wise investment.To this end, I would like to thank all the team. Thanks to dr Hussein, dr Asem and dr Atef for their dedication, and exquisite teaching techniques. Thank you for supporting me through this stage of my career, And thank you for having me.Hope we can meet again soon.Best wishes

Dr. Esraa
This course had saved me. The tutors were able to address my mistakes and fluently fix them along my training. It is not a luxurious place, but the skills I’ve seen in my tutors had no equal match, anywhere else in the world. Beside surgery, knowledge or skills, the people I met were all kind, cheerful, helpful and would offer to teach even before i would ask from doctors to nursing staff, and everyone else in the center. I am most honoured to have been taught by such mentors. I’m aware that from their perspective, I’m just a trainee whom passed by, and another will come, but in my world, this is an unforgettable experienced that i should have made a long time ago

Dr. A. Muhammad
I joined Phaco training with EOTA as an absolute beginner in Phaco. The training team is very supportive, gives frequent feedback, tries to explain trainee's mistakes to correct and improve skills, aims to build a self-confidence. In free time you might observe others doing surgery or watch the recorded surgery you have done. All staff was kind, you feel as if in your work place. Nurses and assistants are active and smart👏 special regards to excellence. I got benefit of the course andI thank all doctors who assisted my training experience there with Dr. Hussein for all the tips. Special thanks to Dr.Aasem and Dr.Aatef. I also thank madam Mahinaz 😊 I already shared my experience with a colleague who is going to join next week. I will be happy to share it in detail with any future trainee if they ask madam Mahinaz to contact me.

An excellent training center!.
The medical, nursing, and administration staff are among the kindest, most respectful, and most coperative people. In the center, doctors taught the steps of the surgical procedure one by one in a professional manner and under the supervision of skilled consultants.
No matter how much I write, I cannot do them justice. I strongly recommend anyone who wished to train in surgical operations and everything related to them to register at this truly outstanding center.
Finally, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to Dr. Assem, Dr. Hussein Mrs. Mahinaz, and all the medical, nursing and administrative staff. I sincerely wish you continued success and excellence
