OpSim

What is OpSim?

OpSim is our spectacular ophthalmic surgical simulator, closest to reality, design, and manufacture to help ophthalmology residents to operate in a realistic environment also keep patients out of operating rooms. It covers two kinds of surgery, anterior and posterior segment surgeries.

Advantages of practicing by an eye surgery simulator

Taking the patient out of training procedure

Reducing the risk of malpractices for patients
High reliability for the training of eye surgeries
Performing eye surgeries individually or under the supervision of a mentor
Repeatable training

Expertise as a consequence of experience

Training primary skills to beginners such as utilizing microscope, hand-pieces…
Training basic surgical methods to special surgical techniques
Progress evaluation
Learning complex surgical techniques step by step

Life-like environment for optimum learning

Preparing life-like simulation to perform eye surgery
Learning different styles to approach the eye by a human head model
High fidelity simulation of the eye interior environment
High fidelity modeling of stereo microscope

Realistic modeling of OR machine and instruments

Availability of eye surgery hand-pieces such a forceps, cystotome, phaco instrument, etc.
Realistic modeling of surgical fluids eye pressure plus red reflex
Life-like OR machine interface and functions

Why simulators?

Medical simulators allow trainees to practice what to do in complex situations and give them the best possible opportunity of enhancing skills and reducing medical malpractices. particularly with the help of simulators, residents can experience dangerous conditions without putting the patient in danger.

Also, simulators have proven far more efficient in the amount and retention of knowledge versus conventional classroom teaching:
