The course typically spans 3 -5 years and involves in-depth research, clinical training, and academic coursework. Students engage in advanced studies in areas such as ocular surgery, vision science, retinal diseases, corneal disorders, and neuro-ophthalmology. The program prepares candidates for careers in academic research, clinical practice, and medical innovation. Applicants must hold a medical degree (MBBS or equivalent), and the program often culminates in a doctoral thesis based on original research in the field of ophthalmology.
