MSICS Simulation Training Course
February 17 @ 9:00 am - February 20 @ 5:00 pm
Course Details:
In this course, you will learn the complete MSICS procedure as standardized by HelpMeSee. MSICS revolves around making and using a well-constructed tunnel to work inside the eye. The tunnel is used to remove the cataract and implant an IOL.
Along with simulation training, you will undergo a self-paced eLearning course to strengthen your understanding of key concepts prior to simulation training.
The course is divided into four modules, each focussing on a specific segment of the surgery.
- Module A: Sclero-Corneal Tunnel Construction
- Module B: Capsulorrhexis & Nucleus Delivery
- Module C: Cortex Removal & IOL Implantation
- Module D: Restoration of Physiological Conditions
Objectives:
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand and recall the different concepts related to MSICS
- Understand tissue and instrument interactions and depth perception
- Identify visual and tactile cues
- Develop the required skills to perform MSICS in a simulated environment
Outcome:
This course will equip you with the necessary skills to perform Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery in a simulated environment, enabling a smooth transition to live surgery.
Prerequisites:
You should be an ophthalmologist with or without previous surgical experience in MSICS and have the following characteristics:
- Good hand-eye coordination
- Normal stereopsis
- Good spatial skills
- Basic computer skills- knows how to navigate a laptop keyboard, touch pad, mouse
You will be required to complete an eLearning course and assessment prior to starting simulation-based training.
