What Was The Educational Challenge?: Ophthalmoscopy is a challenging skill to learn but essential for identifying ophthalmic pathology. Typically, there are few opportunities for early learners to practice this skill in the non-clinical setting.
What Was The Solution?: We sought to develop a model eye for the practice of direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, with realistic dimensions and fundus images, using accessible and affordable supplies.

Introduction: Non-ophthalmologists often lack sufficient operational training to use a direct ophthalmoscope proficiently, resulting in a global deficit of basic ophthalmological skills among general practitioners. This deficiency hampers the timely diagnosis, referral, and intervention of patients. Consequently, the optimization of teaching tools and methods to enhance teaching efficiency is imperative.

Background/objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of B-scan kinetic ultrasonography (USG), standard ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging, and indirect ophthalmoscopy (IDO) in retinal break detection in cataractous eyes.
Subjects/methods: We consecutively enrolled 126 cataract patients (including 246 eyes) with no comorbidities that could decrease best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Three index tests (USG, nonmydriatic UWF, and mydriatic IDO) were performed preoperatively to screen for retinal breaks.

Background: Assessment of the ocular fundus, traditionally by direct ophthalmoscopy (DO), is essential to evaluate many neurologic diseases. However, the status of DO training in neurology residencies is unknown. We conducted a needs assessment to determine current attitudes, curricula, and gaps in DO training.

Introduction: Pterygium surgery is a closed globe surface surgery. Although it is perfectly standard and followed by excellent results, it is not exempt from the general rule that there is no surgery without risk. It therefore seems important to integrate simulation as a pedagogical tool for training ophthalmology residents in pterygium surgery.
