The new enlargement training task guides surgeons through the necessary steps to safely expand a capsular tear – for example, where the initial capsulorhexis was erroneously made too small, or when the surgeon has decided to do a two-stage continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis. Guiding rings show the optimum size and positioning of the new tear to be completed, while on-screen guidance helps trainees to monitor the viscoelastic pressure in the eye and the stress on the incision.

It’s no secret that experienced surgeons vary in their approaches to fixing retinal detachment. For the trainee, the challenge is knowing which route. This module features enhanced guiding elements to walk residents through different approaches, giving them a framework to learn best practices while also having the freedom to experiment and learn different techniques.

As our world becomes increasingly connected, and demand for ophthalmological training has grown, the Eyesi Surgical offers courseware in Chinese (simplified), French, Russian, and Spanish as well as English. Switching between languages is easy; simply change the language from the drop-down menu as required. This allows trainees to practice in their preferred language, further removing barriers to learning cataract surgery.
