Sinjab Academy Teaches
Masterclasses, congresses and accredited programmes delivered to ophthalmologists across the world. The request our members make most often is the one a lecture cannot answer: time with instruments in the hand.
Academia, with Ameeq and Applied Science Private University
Hands-On Training Courses
Six surgical courses taught in a full wet laboratory in Amman, several on real human corneal tissue, under the direct supervision of operating surgeons. Thirty-two places to each course, one station to each pair of hands.
Who Teaches and Who Trains
Ameeq Trains
A Jordanian training house built for exactly that: structured curricula, practical simulation, supervision by operating surgeons, and groups kept small so that skill can be measured rather than assumed.
The Six Courses
Places are released in a single allocation and close when the thirty-two are taken. Accommodation with breakfast is included in every course.
Phacoemulsification
Held 1–2 October 2026; the next date is to be announced. $1,000 with three nights of accommodation. Day 1 is a didactic and practical course. Day 2 is hands-on phacoemulsification from incision to lens implantation: 3.5 hours with a devoted instructor, on BIONIKO model eyes.
Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP)
Intermediate to advanced, on real human grafts · $1,200 · Date and duration to be announced. The whole patient journey: selection and planning, trephination of donor and recipient, graft preparation, interrupted and continuous suturing, with intraoperative difficulties managed as they arise.
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)
Advanced, on real human grafts · Dates to be announced. Lamellar transplantation for keratoconus and stromal disease, sparing a healthy endothelium: big-bubble technique, dissection, graft preparation and centration.
Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK)
Advanced, on real human corneas · Dates to be announced. Donor preparation, graft manipulation, unfolding and air tamponade: the steps on which the result turns.
Scleral IOL Fixation Techniques
Advanced, wet laboratory · Dates to be announced. Fixing an intraocular lens without capsular support: externalising the haptic, forming the flange and fixing it to the sclera.
Vitreoretinal Surgery
Advanced · Curriculum, format and dates to be announced.

Asked Often
Who are these courses for?
Residents in ophthalmology, surgeons early in practice, and consultants. Each course states its level, so you can match it to where your hands are now.
Do I need surgical experience?
Phacoemulsification assumes little or no operating experience. The advanced courses (PKP, DALK, DMEK, scleral IOL fixation and vitreoretinal surgery) assume you already operate in the relevant field.
How do I secure a place?
Write to the academy office for your chosen course and complete payment. Each course has thirty-two places, allocated in the order payments are confirmed.
Can you support a visa application?
Yes. A letter of invitation is issued once your registration is confirmed.
