Education at LVPEI
From its very inception, training has been a key part of LVPEI's activities. Training programs are offered at all levels of the eye care service delivery chain: post-doctoral ophthalmology fellows and practicing ophthalmologists, as well as optometrists, ophthalmic technicians, nurses, nursing assistants, support staff and eye care administrators
Education at LVPEI has three main objectives
- To upgrade the skills of practicing ophthalmologists
- To provide opportunities to keep abreast of developments in the field of vision science and its application
- To equip new entrants to the field with the appropriate skills and knowledge
All programs are designed around a combination of practical and theoretical approaches and are continually revised to incorporate new knowledge
