Practice on cadaver eyes can be an essential aid for residents and inexperienced surgeons in learning operative techniques. Cadaver eyes, however, have been of only limited utility for teaching highly complicated procedures because of the obscuring of intraocular structures caused by the rapid post mortem onset of corneal swelling. We have overcome this problem by the use of a silicone keratoprosthesis that provides an excellent view of all intraocular tissues. Our model allows the use of donor eyes unsuitable for transplantation and facilitates the learning of even complicated cataract surgery, and vitrectomy techniques on the human eye. It thus can reduce the rate of complications in operations on patients.
在尸体眼睛上进行练习对于住院医师和经验不足的外科医生学习手术技术而言可能是一种重要的辅助手段。然而，由于死后角膜迅速肿胀会遮挡眼内结构，尸体眼睛在教授高度复杂的手术时用途有限。我们通过使用一种硅胶人工角膜解决了这个问题，它能提供眼内所有组织的清晰视野。我们的模型允许使用不适合移植的供体眼，并便于学习甚至是复杂的白内障手术以及人眼玻璃体切割技术。因此，它可以降低患者手术中的并发症发生率。
