Abstract
Objective: To explore the application effect of the Eyesi surgical simulator in the teaching of cataract surgery for professional ophthalmology postgraduate students. Methods: The professional postgraduate students who were trained in the third year of ophthalmology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University were selected as the research objects. After passing the theoretical examination, they were randomly divided into the pig eyeball group, Eyesi group, and pig eye + Eyesi group, with 5 students in each group. The pig eyeball, Eyesi surgery simulator, and pig eye + Eyesi surgery simulator were used for microscopic technique operation and cataract surgery steps training, respectively. After the training, the overall training effects of the three groups of postgraduates were scored, and questionnaires were used to objectively evaluate the three training methods. Results: The scores of the students in the pig eye + Eyesi group were better than those in the Eyesi group, and the students in the Eyesi group were better than those in the pig eyeball group. Conclusion: The Eyesi surgical simulation training system can evaluate the microsurgical skills of professional masters and improve their surgical skills. This system is of great significance for the training of the cataract surgery skills of professional masters.
