THE SOLUTION – SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING
To make the large-scale cataract surgical training of cataract specialists feasible, HelpMeSee has developed an innovative set of instructor-led courses that use the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator for surgical skill development.
WHY MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERY?
Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery is a safe, cost-effective, and efficient cataract removal procedure especially suited for the developing world.
CATARACT BLINDNESS: A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
The sad story is that those who are blind because of untreated cataract cannot work. This situation leads to financial hardship, the onset of additional health problems and a reduced quality of life. It can even lead to premature death.
This is a public health crisis that is only likely to get worse if the underlying issues of eyecare delivery workforce development are not addressed.
