Experience the feeling of lifelike cataract surgery!
ISMSICS has been at the forefront of championing the cause of small incision cataract surgery. In this endeavor, HelpMeSee is proud to be affiliated with ISMSICS as their global academic partner. Together the two organizations have promoted and propagated this unique, effective and economical technique of cataract extraction.
In India, ISMSICS has partnered with HMS in creating awareness about the usefulness of simulation-based cataract surgical training. Working together, ISMSICS and HMS have made this simulation-based training accessible to trainees from across the country.
Drawing on virtual reality, HelpMeSee’s Simulation-based Training Program offers an authentic experience of live surgery, allowing for the scalable training of large numbers of cataract specialists. The program builds competency and reduces cataract surgery training time. The training allows cataract specialists to practice surgery and learn to address complications through simulation, rather than the human eye with a live patient.
Individual customization of training is a significant advantage, as the data on surgical steps can be tracked on the system. The simulation-based training and curriculum provide an authentic experience, allowing for errors without risks to patient safety.

Complications Management Course
COMPLICATIONS MANAGEMENT COURSE (CMC) | 1 Day
HelpMeSee’s primary objective with the Complications Management Course is to empower surgeons with the knowledge and practice to efficiently handle cataract surgery-related complications. The Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) is a pivotal procedure that addresses the escalating demand for cataract treatments in underprivileged economies and areas with limited resources.
This course is critical for surgeons who operate in these challenging conditions, not only to perform seamless surgeries but also to be adept at tackling unexpected surgical complications. In essence, we are committed to honing your expertise to ensure you are well-prepared and skilled to navigate any obstacles that may arise during cataract surgeries.
CMC Course includes the following modules; ACIOL Insertion and Dialing, Sphincterotomy using Vannas Scissors, and CTR Insertion
MSICS to Phacoemulsification Differences
Simulation-based Training Course (MPDC) | 4 Days
This MSICS to Phacoemulsification Differences Course course is a specially tailored simulation-based course for the Indian subcontinent where residents and trainees are often well versed in MSICS. This course builds on the surgical principles of MSICS and helps the trainee understand the adjustment and changes required in order to graduate to phacoemulsification. The areas of special focus in this course include phaco-instrumentation, phaco-dynamics and wound construction. Additionally, trainees will also learn the details of implanting a foldable intraocular lens. This course is ideal for trainees who are proficient in MSICS and wish to acquire the skillsets needed for phacoemulsification.
Suturing
Simulation-based Training Course (SSTC) | 1 Day
Suturing is a Basic ophthalmic surgical skill which is needed in most surgical procedures. Our comprehensive Suturing Course is designed to empower eye surgeons with the pivotal skill of suturing, applicable across all types of ophthalmic surgeries. No matter your area of specialization, learning to effectively suture a leaky tunnel is invaluable in managing critical complications such as perforations and tunnel wall lacerations.
Mastering this skill will allow surgeons to stabilize the eye, facilitating effective post-operative recovery. As suturing and restoring the eye is a crucial component of nearly every eye surgery procedure, we’re here to help you hone this indispensable skill and enhance the overall quality of your surgical practice. Get ahead in your career with proficiency in comprehensive suturing techniques.
Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery
Simulation-based Training Course | 4 Days
This course offers comprehensive training on Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery using the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator. Trainees will learn the essential steps, including scleral tunnel incision, capsulorhexis creation, lens delivery, intraocular lens implantation, and wound hydration. Each technique is expertly demonstrated to ensure you gain the necessary skills and confidence to perform this procedure competently.
Phacoemulsification
Simulation-based Training Course | 5 Days
This Phacoemulsification simulation-based training course guides you through each stage of the procedure, from the clear corneal incision to nucleus emulsification, foldable intraocular lens implantation, and final closure of the surgery through wound hydration. Emphasizing hand-eye-foot coordination, the course provides essential skills for maneuvering instruments during surgery and controlling ultrasound energy with the foot pedal on the HelpMeSee Eye Surgery Simulator.
