Why Simulation?<\/h2>\n

Simulation based training is increasingly being integrated into medical teaching. This process has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The advantages of being able to provide consistent progressive training and assess competency in a safe, controlled and flexible environment as well as reduce face-to-face contact are of clear benefit to patients, trainees and trainers alike.<\/p>\n

Most simulation tools are however expensive and impractically so for those training in low- and middle-income settings where the need is greatest to deal with the emerging epidemics of blindness from diabetes and premature birth.<\/p>\n

We have developed highly realistic SIMulation tools to hone\u00a0anterior segment, fundal reflex, direct ophthalmoscopy and otoscopy<\/em>\u00a0examination. They rapidly build confidence and the hands-on coordination needed to examine eyes and ears.<\/p>\n

Simulation eye<\/h3>\n

Simulation eyes (SIM eyes) can be used to teaching examination skills for direct ophthalmoscopy, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit-lamp examination. The simulation eyes can also be used to teaching retinal laser skills.<\/p>\n
