At Clínica Dr. Ivo Ferreira we are proud to share news that speaks directly to the quality of care you receive: Dr. Ivo Ferreira has been invited as an international guest speaker at PHACOTIPS 6.0, one of the world’s most recognized teaching courses in cataract surgery, taking place on 19–21 June 2026 in Pune, India.
When a surgeon is invited to teach other ophthalmologists on an international stage, it says far more than any brochure. Here is what this event is, who takes part and, above all, what it means for you as a patient.
What is PHACOTIPS 6.0?
PHACOTIPS is a 3D video-based teaching course dedicated to perfecting phacoemulsification, the modern technique used today to operate on most cataracts. Organized by Dr. Sourabh Patwardhan and Nandadeep Eye Hospital, it brings together surgeons from around the world to learn, watch and discuss real surgery in high definition. Its motto says it all: “Learn. Watch. Discuss. Master.” This is its sixth edition, a testament to its prestige and continuity.
A world-class faculty
Dr. Ferreira will share the stage with leading figures in cataract surgery. Among them is Dr. Robert Osher (Cincinnati, USA), professor of ophthalmology with more than 40 years devoted exclusively to cataract surgery, creator of over 100 surgical instruments and recipient of lifetime achievement awards from the world’s foremost cataract and refractive surgery societies (ASCRS, ESCRS and AAO). Being invited to this same faculty is a recognition of the level of Dr. Ferreira’s work.
Dr. Ferreira’s lecture: simulator training
Dr. Ferreira will deliver the lecture “Simulator Training – Path to Success.” Simulator training lets surgeons practice and perfect every step of surgery in high-fidelity environments, measuring precision and safety, both early on and continuously throughout their careers. It is the same principle followed in aviation or high-performance medicine: repeat until you master it, so that when the real moment comes, everything goes right.
This approach connects naturally with Dr. Ferreira’s career as an educator in intraocular surgery, committed to training other surgeons and raising the standards of eye surgery.
Why does this matter to you as a patient?
When it comes to your eyes, the surgeon’s experience is one of the factors that most influences the outcome. A specialist invited to teach internationally is, by definition, a surgeon who:
- Masters the technique at a level other professionals want to learn from.
- Stays in continuous training and up to date with the most advanced technology.
- Is part of the global conversation on how to make cataract surgery safer and more precise.
In other words: the same standard Dr. Ferreira brings to teaching other surgeons is the one he applies in every procedure. That is why more and more patients choose Clínica Dr. Ivo Ferreira as a reference for cataract surgery in Mexico City.
