Medical Retina Fellowship review

Aravind Eye Hospital

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

  • 1 year fellowship


  • Selection- based on interview only, no exams- depends on vacancy

  • 40k stipend per month

  • No cataract training included

  • You get hands-on for FFA, ICG, OCT, OCT angio, UBM, injections including Ozurdex, methotrexate for oncology cases, vit tap

  • Also get lasers like PRO, focal, SMPL, TTT, barrage

  • You get more than 800 intravit injections & lasers more than 300-400

  • You're allowed almost to manage every case but you should have a good senior or consultant with whom you have a good rapport just to clear your doubts.

  • Chennai has good Uvea exposure too

  • Dept hectic but not that very toxic

  • ROP exposure is not that good

  • No periphery postings, but have to go for camp and trial bandage and one night duty per month for sure.. enucleation calls are not there luckily.

  • No classes, mostly self learning.

  • Starts from 7.30 till work over.. mostly upto 6.30 pm.

  • No bond but if you discontinue fellowship in between, you have to return all your stipend.
