Why simulators

Medical simulators allow trainees to practice what to do in complex situations and give them the best possible opportunity of enhancing skills and reducing medical malpractices. particularly with the help of simulators, residents can experience dangerous conditions without putting the patient in danger.

Also, simulators have proven far more efficient in the amount and retention of knowledge versus conventional classroom teaching:

Ability to practice risky scenarios in a safe environment
Enhanced knowledge retention by more exercising
Reporting in a more comprehensive consistent and objective form
Demonstration of everything students have learned

Overview

The purpose of simulating eye surgeries in both anterior and posterior segments is to provide step-by-step instruction to prepare for real ocular surgery. However, this guide cannot replace accurate medical pieces of training in the real environment, but it should be noticed that using this simulation device rapids the process of training, provides residents accurate assessments, also keeps the real patient away, and expertise residents to be as e risk-free expert.

The simulation is comprised of two fundamental parts: Graphical User Interface (GUI) in the touchscreen and the virtual surgical environment, i.e., the Virtual reality (VR).

The GUI allows you to set your customized settings and choose your tools.

The surgical VR is a graphical image of the eye.

In the simulation, you will be able to use the real tools available on the simulation device to take control of the virtual surgery pieces of equipment which are shown in the microscope. The simulation of the device acts in real-time.

The surgical processes are not determined from before and depend on the user’s performance. The behavior of the eye is in process during the surgery in each operation.

OcuSim could be equipped with different software modules. Fundamental training modules are available by default. For example, real ocular surgery modules and some skill promotion practices are accessible by default on the device.

Advantages of practicing by an eye surgery simulator

Taking the patient out of training procedure

Reducing the risk of malpractices for patients

There are significant competitive advantages of OcuSim compared to traditional training methods (cattle eye and physical models):

Hard and rare cases could be simulated.
User performance could be recorded with numerical data
Evaluate and compare skill levels between experts and beginners
Residents can practice alone without the presence of qualified physicians
No restrictions on consumables

Objective Assessments & Feedback

Once a user finishes the task, he will receive an evaluation of your performance.

The score is in fact your overall score which is determined according to some variables. In each task, these variables are determined and measured according to the determined objectives for the task. If the user fully achieves the goal, he will earn the highest score. The simulator scoring system evaluates the user’s performance online. The scoring criterion and imposing penalties would be corrected with progression in each task. Therefore, the user’s feedback would always be evaluated
