The ICO-Ophthalmology Surgical Competency Assessment Rubric (OSCAR) is a standardized, internationally-valid tool to teach and assess an ophthalmologist’s competence in performing surgery. The ICO currently offers OSCAR's for Extracapsular Cataract Extraction, Phacoemulsification, Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS), Strabismus, and Lateral Tarsal Strip Surgery. Selected ICO-OSCAR's are available in Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, and Vietnamese, as well as English.
The ICO-OSCAR is a behavioral and skill-based rubric for evaluators. This allows the evaluator to use the ICO-OSCAR to objectively assess the resident’s competence in performing a specific procedure. It also gives the resident a tool to better gauge their own performance.
