CATARACT SURGERY SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING PROGRAMS

Instructor-led Cataract Surgery Simulation-based Training with the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator

Conclusive: 50% Reduction in Live Cataract Surgery Errors with HelpMeSee Simulation-based Training

COURSES WE OFFER

OPHTHALMOLOGY SIMULATION

Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery

Simulation-based Training Course  |  4 Days

The course provides detailed instruction on the ‘What’ and ‘How’ of performing Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery using the HelpMeSee Eye Surgical Simulator to reach competence in the performance of this procedure.

Phacoemulsification

Simulation-based Training Course |  5 Days

The Phacoemulsification simulation-based training course navigates you through each intricate stage of the procedure – from the initial clear corneal incision to the emulsification of the nucleus, the implantation of a foldable intraocular lens, and the final closure of the surgery through wound hydration. The course emphasizes the development of hand-eye-foot coordination, vital for deftly maneuvering instruments during intraocular surgery and manipulating ultrasound energy via a foot pedal on the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator.

Supplementary Courses

Posterior Capsular Rupture Management Courses |  Half Day to 1 Day

These simulation-based training courses cover the Limbal Approach and Pars Plana Approach including the steps of performing an anterior vitrectomy with an automated vitreous cutter and the steps of removing a small lens fragment from the anterior chamber in the presence of a posterior capsular rupture and more.

Zonular Dialysis Management Course |  Half Day

This simulation-based training course covers zonular dialysis management using a capsular tension ring (CTR) followed by placement of a multipiece IOL in Sulcus.

Secondary IOL & Small Pupil Management Courses |  2 Hours

These courses cover management of aphakia with the implantation of an anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL) with the focus on proper placement of the haptics in the angle and performing adequately sized and equidistant sphincterotomies on the pupil edge to achieve sufficient dilatation.  

Suturing Simulation-based Training Course   |  1 Day

The simulation-based training suturing course is designed to build cognitive knowledge via an interactive eBook and insightful discussions led by a certified instructor. Once you’ve gained cognitive knowledge, you’ll develop psychomotor skills on the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator, learning how to flawlessly pass a needle through eye tissue and tie that perfect knot to seal a tunnel.
