To develop simulator goggles that produce disease-specific characteristics of selected low vision conditions for use in pharmacy education.
Individual sets of simulator goggles were developed for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. Students rated the presence and severity of disease-specific characteristics after wearing each pair of goggles while manipulating medication-related materials.
One hundred students completed the study. Characteristic symptoms for each disease state were experienced at a moderate to severe level (p < 0.0001). Subjects indicated a high level of agreement among symptom ratings for each disease (Kendall's coefficient = 0.82).
Low vision simulator goggles reliably produced the characteristics of selected conditions experienced in a medication management environment. Further studies are needed to identify suitable patient-centered learning activities using these goggles.
开发模拟眼镜，以产生选定的低视力状况的特定疾病特征，用于药学教育。
为青光眼、白内障、黄斑变性、糖尿病视网膜病变和色素性视网膜炎分别开发了一套模拟眼镜。学生在操作与药物相关的材料时，佩戴每副眼镜后，对特定疾病特征的存在和严重程度进行评分。
共有 100 名学生完成了这项研究。每种疾病状态的特征症状都达到中度至重度水平（p<0.0001）。对于每种疾病的症状评分，受试者表示高度一致（肯德尔系数=0.82）。
低视力模拟眼镜可靠地产生了在药物管理环境中遇到的选定条件的特征。需要进一步研究使用这些眼镜进行适合以患者为中心的学习活动。
