Purpose: To identify the skills and personality profiles that are most expected by ophthalmology patients and to help ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents improve their communication with patients and thus their quality of care.
Methods: This prospective, single-center study was carried out from November 2nd, 2020, to April 30th, 2021 in the ophthalmology department of Strasbourg University Hospital (Strasbourg, France). One thousand one hundred and eighty-three volunteer ophthalmology outpatients participated in the study.
Article Synopsis
- Cataract surgery training is essential for ensuring patient safety and trainee satisfaction, particularly through the use of virtual reality simulators (EyeSi and HelpMeSee) and supervised surgical training on real patients.
- A literature review of 18 studies, involving 1515 participants, focused on patient safety outcomes and trainee satisfaction, highlighting variations in training programs and a low level of certainty in results.
- The review found that 80% of virtual reality simulation studies reported significant improvements in patient safety, while supervised training mainly took place in low-to-middle income countries, showing a high volume of cataract surgeries performed by trainees.
This study aims to assess validity evidence of the new phacoemulsification module of the HelpMeSee [HMS] virtual reality simulator. Conducted at the Ophthalmology Department of Strasbourg University Hospital and Gepromed Education Department, Strasbourg, France, this cross-sectional study divided 20 surgeons into two groups based on their experience over or under 300 cataract surgeries. Surgeons filled out a background survey covering their phacoemulsification experience and prior simulator use before undergoing single-session simulations on the EyeSi [EYS] and HMS simulators.

Article Synopsis
- * Standard treatments like surgery may not be suitable for up to 30% of patients due to high risks or complications, and existing procedures often fail to improve blood flow and healing effectively.
- * There is a pressing need for new medical therapies, necessitating the development of animal models that closely mimic PAD conditions and incorporate cardiovascular risk factors to better inform clinical interventions.
