Ophthalmic surgeries are microsurgeries that require fine motor skills and precision of movements. Practicing under microscope during wet lab sessions develops hand-eye coordination, removes performance anxiety, builds muscle memory, and helps attain fineness of movement. However, not every training center is equipped with a wet lab. Development of a wet lab facility is an expensive task, as the cost of operating microscopes, simulators, and phacoemulsification machines is significant. A mobile repairing tabletop, portable stereo microscope can be utilized to develop a basic, affordable wet lab facility in under-resourced training centers, so that resident training is not compromised. Besides, it can be utilized by residents to develop a personal, basic wet lab space at their own room, where they can practice at their convenience. Here, we aim to introduce this stereo microscope for training and skill development of residents.
眼科手术是需要精细运动技能和动作精准度的显微手术。在湿实验室课程中在显微镜下练习可培养手眼协调能力、消除操作焦虑、建立肌肉记忆并有助于实现动作的精细度。然而,并非每个培训中心都配备有湿实验室。建立一个湿实验室设施是一项昂贵的任务,因为操作显微镜、模拟器和超声乳化仪的成本很高。一个可移动的维修桌面、便携式体视显微镜可用于在资源不足的培训中心开发一个基本的、经济实惠的湿实验室设施,从而不影响住院医师培训。此外,住院医师可以利用它在自己的房间里打造一个个人基本湿实验室空间,方便他们随时练习。在此,我们旨在介绍这种体视显微镜用于住院医师的培训和技能发展。
