Cataracts account for about half of all cases of blindness worldwide, with the vast majority in
developing countries, where blindness and visual impairment can reduce life expectancy …

Importance Cataracts account for 40% of cases of blindness globally, with surgery the only
treatment. Objective To determine whether adding simulation-based cataract surgical …

Over the last decade we have seen a rapid proliferation of simulation technologies and in
the next ten years these will permeate almost every facet of cataract surgical training …

The burden of global cataract blindness continues to rise, because the number of surgical
ophthalmologists is insufficient, and they are unevenly distributed. There is an urgent need …

Introduction Cataract surgery is a fundamental intraocular procedure with a steep learning
curve. Virtual reality simulation offers opportunity to streamline this aspect of ophthalmic …

Since their introduction over a decade ago, virtual reality (VR) simulators have grown in use
at many graduate medical education (GME) programs. 1 Simulation-based training in …

Objectives: To evaluate the correlation of cataract surgical simulator and real-life surgical
experience and its contribution to surgical training. Materials and Methods: Sixteen doctors …

Objective The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic review of existing literature
on simulation-based training of cataract surgery. Available literature was evaluated and …

Purpose To assess the subjective validity of a cost-effective and adaptable cataract surgery
simulation technique using basic technology. Methods We devised and filmed a range of …

This study investigates the validity evidence of metrics used for the assessment of surgical
skills for Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) in a virtual reality simulator …
