Choosing a programme

How to compare retina training

Start by separating medical retina, vitreoretinal surgery and inherited retinal disease training. A shared retina label does not mean two fellowships offer the same operating experience or research pathway.

  • Compare the stated medical and surgical focus, rather than choosing on duration alone.
  • Ask which procedures the fellow performs, how supervision changes and how time is divided between clinics, operating rooms and research.
  • Check whether a clinical fellowship, research appointment or observership is being advertised; each has different responsibilities.
