Simulation of cataract surgery
To permit training of anterior segment surgery, the platform of the eye surgery simulator Eyesi is equipped with a cataract eye interface, a cataract instrument set and foot pedals. The simulation environment can easily be configured for superior or temporal access to the patient's eye. A series of incisions is provided on the model eye to allow instrument insertion according to the surgeon's preference.
Cataract training modules
All Eyesi cataract training modules offer an immersive surgical simulation environment for training of anterior segment surgery. Frequent practice using these modules refines proficiency in critical steps such as capsulorhexis, hydrodissection and phaco. The phaco machine settings can be changed in order to explore the effects of parameter changes. Complex interaction between instruments and discrete tissue and intraocular structures can be experienced in real time. Trainees therefore become acquainted with the “Divide and Conquer” technique step by step.
The number of Eyesi cataract training modules is being constantly extended. Eyesi units can be upgraded when new modules become available. For information on all the currently available cataract modules, please contact VRmagic.
