Introduction
Eyesi Surgical Simulation-based Training of Vitreoretinal Surgery
Through the simulator's operating room microscope trainees see the virtual surgical field in stereo and high resolution while operating with life-like surgical instruments. The highly realistic simulation of interaction with tissue in real-time increases trainees’ surgical experience without risk for patients.
The aim of the course is to practice vitreoretinal microsurgical skills repetitively until a standard skill level is reached.
