In ophthalmology residency programs surgical training plays a vital role in creating confident and skillful surgeons. As almost all ophthalmic surgery needs microscope training, creating a well-taught environment for hand-eye coordination, ocular tissue handling, and anticipation of complications is essential. Wet lab training with animal or cadaver human eyes offers diverse possibilities. We conducted a thorough literature search on various databases to identify the existing literature on wet labs. The results revealed constructive efforts for training novice surgeons in all surgical ophthalmology subspecialties. Wet lab models were initially used only to practice cataract surgery; however, now various complex ocular procedures can be practiced. Ocular surface, corneal, iris, lenticular, scleral, vitreoretinal, extraocular, eyelid, and other adnexal surgeries were reproduced and mastered in many ways. Importantly, with repeated surgical practice, residents gained an increasing level of confidence with enhanced surgical accuracy. In addition, we propose a few novel techniques of various other procedures.

在眼科住院医师计划中，外科培训在培养自信和熟练的外科医生方面起着至关重要的作用。由于几乎所有眼科手术都需要显微镜培训，因此为手眼协调、眼部组织处​​理和并发症预测创造良好的教学环境至关重要。用动物或尸体人眼进行的湿式实验室培训提供了多种可能性。我们对各种数据库进行了彻底的文献检索，以确定湿实验室的现有文献。结果揭示了在所有外科眼科亚专业培训新手外科医生的建设性努力。湿实验室模型最初仅用于练习白内障手术；然而，现在可以进行各种复杂的眼科手术。眼表、角膜、虹膜、晶状体、巩膜、玻璃体视网膜、眼外、眼睑、和其他附件手术以多种方式复制和掌握。重要的是，通过反复的手术实践，住院医师获得了越来越高的信心，并提高了手术的准确性。此外，我们提出了一些其他各种程序的新技术。
