    Author: Henderson BA, Grimes KJ, Fintelmann RE, Oetting TA.
    Journal: J Cataract Refract Surg; 2009 Jun; 35(6):1121-8. PubMed ID: 19465299.
    Abstract:
    Wet laboratories (wet labs) play an increasingly important role in ophthalmology surgical residency training. We summarize the necessary components in establishing and maintaining a well-functioning wet lab and offer a stepwise guide for educators to improve the quality of the wet lab experience. We present 6 key factors in creating an ophthalmology wet lab; that is, setting up the physical space, establishing appropriate faculty and curriculum, obtaining the practice eye, stabilizing the eye, preparing the eye, and funding the wet lab.
