Eyesi Indirect ROP Laser Module

From a diagnostic to an interventional training system

With this additional module for the Eyesi Indirect ROP Simulator, trainee doctors learn the skills to perform effective laser therapy – the most common treatment for severe Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). Together, Haag-Streit offers a comprehensive training solution for ROP diagnosis, classification, and treatment.

Realistic laser setup

Foot pedal & laser settings

Carrying out laser therapy is a complex task involving the simultaneous alignment and manipulation of multiple instruments. With the help of the laser tasks, trainees learn how to "fire" the laser accurately, and how to optimize parameters such as power, pulse duration, and intervals.

Laser therapy courseware

Step-by-step to expert performance

Treating ROP is very challenging due to the complexity of the condition, the fragility of the patient, and the need for a steady hand. The standardized curriculum, optimized for step-by-step practice, enables users to learn the complete procedure in a consistent way that supports robust, confident application, regardless of the severity of the case.

The new laser therapy courseware starts with exercises on how to focus and aim the laser beam. This is followed by courses to help users laser in the periphery, choose the correct laser settings (duration and power) - and use the laser in pulsed mode with an optimal interval between shots.

Treat the retina

Optimum position of laser spots

Mirroring real-life scenarios, trainees learn how to treat ROP – beginning with smaller areas, as well as the complete retina. During the training, users learn to master the optimum number and position of laser burns – too close together, and the retina can be damaged; too far apart, then the VEGF signal molecule is still produced in the untreated area, and the abnormal blood vessel growth continues.

Assessment of treated area

Feedback & evaluation

Users are presented with clear objectives and information relating to each case and must aim to complete the procedure in the allocated timeframe.

After the simulated treatment, trainees receive a comprehensive, objective evaluation of the treated area and are appraised on their laser application versus rigorous assessment criteria. Evaluated parameters are, for example: the delivered laser energy, the number of shots, and the completeness of the defined treatment area.

New online medical course

Essential laser knowledge

A new online medical course complements the practical simulator courses, offering essential background information on types of lasers and their settings, optimal placement, and color of laser spots, as well as patient preparation and laser application techniques. Additionally, trainees will receive an overview of alternative pharmacologic and surgical treatment options.
