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.
