The aim of the study is to describe an inexpensive and easily-constructed model eye for the purpose of teaching laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to ophthalmology residents. Easily constructed, inexpensive model eyes were utilized to teach residents SLT and LPI utilizing a remote self-study module. A teaching microscope attachment allowed for video-based instruction and feedback. This model eye, used in conjunction with video modules is an effective low-cost teaching tool for laser surgery among ophthalmology residents. Attending ophthalmologists rated the use of these model eyes using surveys and found them to be appropriate teaching tools that could lead to improved knowledge and translate to better patient care. Our novel method for teaching glaucoma laser surgery allows residents to learn the principles and theory behind common laser procedures while having the opportunity to practice repetitive procedures on low-cost model eyes.
本研究的目的是描述一种价格低廉且易于构建的模型眼，用于向眼科住院医师传授激光周边虹膜切开术（LPI）和选择性激光小梁成形术（SLT）。使用易于构建且价格低廉的模型眼，通过远程自学模块向住院医师传授SLT和LPI。教学显微镜附件可实现基于视频的教学和反馈。这种与视频模块结合使用的模型眼是一种有效的低成本教学工具，可用于眼科住院医师的激光手术教学。主治眼科医生通过调查对这些模型眼的使用进行了评估，发现它们是合适的教学工具，能够增进知识并转化为更好的患者护理。我们教授青光眼激光手术的新方法使住院医师能够学习常见激光手术背后的原理和理论，并同时有机会在低成本的模型眼上练习重复性手术。
