Simulation in ophthalmology: a pedagogic viewpoint

1 April 2017 | | Cataract and Refractive
The advent of simulation technology has enhanced modern medical training. The first utilisation of simulation was in 1929 where Edward Link used this concept to develop a mechanical flight simulator [1]. Industries such as aviation, nuclear power and the military...

Use of a smartphone repair microscope for microsurgical suturing simulation

5 August 2020 | | Ophthalmology
Suturing ocular tissues under microscopic guidance is a skill that has declined in frequency, with the majority of cataract operations being sutureless. With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, training opportunities in theatre have declined further, given elective surgery cancellations. Subsequently, trainees...

Development of a modern surgical simulation suite to promote safer ophthalmic surgical training

5 August 2020 | | Ophthalmology, Cataract and Refractive, Retina / Uvea / Vitreous, Orbit
For trainees, having access to surgical simulation equipment is more important than ever. The authors describe the creation of a bespoke teaching and training suite in Glasgow to help trainees develop their skills and promote surgical excellence. Simulation has become...

Unlocking the power of simulation: a next generation solution to training ophthalmic professionals

30 November 2020
With experts predicting that global blindness will triple by 2050, and the number of people requiring eyecare already outpacing the number of trained ophthalmologists, eyecare training has never been more vital. Traditional in-person ophthalmic training has been curtailed by the...

Vitreous loss fire drills – ophthalmic simulation improves trainee surgical competence and confidence with posterior capsule rupture scenarios

4 December 2023 | | Cataract and Refractive
Ophthalmic trainees have reported limited exposure and low confidence regarding the management of cataract complications such as posterior capsule rupture (PCR) / vitreous loss (VL). This report evaluates the impact of a simulation-based educational training event on these concerns. Introduction...
