From beginner phaco skills to full sub-specialty fellowships, Susrut has trained ophthalmologists, optometrists, and allied health professionals from India and abroad since 1998 — with hands-on surgical volume most training centres can't offer.
"Sushruta trained his students on wax models and vegetables before they ever touched a patient."
— attributed to the tradition of the Sushruta Samhita
Susrut Medilearn carries that same instinct forward. Since 1998, Susrut has trained ophthalmologists, optometrists, and allied health professionals from India and abroad — not as a classroom bolted onto a hospital, but as a working eye hospital that happens to teach the next generation on real, high-volume clinical caseload.
Trained in partnership with Cybersight (Orbis International), King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital (Saudi Arabia), Sightsavers India, and partner hospitals in Germany.
