The MS – Ophthalmology program at ICARE Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Haldia, is a three‑year postgraduate surgical degree designed to train doctors in the full spectrum of eye care — from medical management to advanced surgical interventions. The curriculum blends classroom teaching with extensive clinical exposure in outpatient clinics, eye wards, and operating theatres. Students learn to diagnose and manage ocular diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, corneal disorders, retinal diseases, pediatric ophthalmology, and ocular trauma. Training includes techniques like lens surgery (e.g., small‑incision cataract surgery), basic retina procedures, and the use of diagnostic imaging tools to assess eye conditions. In addition to surgical expertise, residents gain experience in community eye health, patient counseling, and pre‑/post‑operative care. The attached Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy Hospital provides a real‑world clinical environment for hands‑on learning and patient interaction under the guidance of experienced faculty.
