Our Training Philosophy
Our Cataract Surgery Training Philosophy
Most recent improvements in surgery outcomes were achieved through the use of newer devices, better drugs, and improved procedures. Rarely has there been a focus on surgical technique and performance. Complicating matters, the traditional method for cataract surgery training with mentored observation has become less effective due to the lack of operating opportunities and work time restrictions. New foundations for training are needed to improved surgery training.
Fundamental aspects of simulation-based training incorporated into HelpMeSee’s cataract surgery simulation-based training design include:
